Time was of the essence today as we both had work and other commitments on but we managed to grab an hours window. As we pulled up at NM we saw a Buzzard being mobbed by a couple of Lapwing. Other species included 2 Gadwall, a Shoveler, Song Thrush and even a couple of Wigeon!
On to WB. A place we've enjoyed visiting through the winter seeing Egrets, Raptors and Whoopers but today it was mostly about the smaller birds. The House Sparrows were busy in large numbers and we counted 3 Swallow. A very handsome Male Reed Bunting showed its face and Greenfinch could be heard calling. The highlight was seeing a Sedge Warbler singing metres away from us! This is our first spring with half a clue as to what we're doing so this was quite a moment for us!
Further along there were 5 Avocet and 2 Black-Tailed Godwit [definity Black-tailed this time Lionel! ;-) ] At one point the Avocet were mobbing a Corvid and I'm pretty confident, due to the HUGE size, that it was a Raven.
