WWT Welney with Tony G and Mandy and three 1st sightings

On Friday the 8th October, Mandy, Tony G and myself drove the short journey from Tonys house in Wisbech to WWT Welney for a look around, the weather was a little overcast for lot of the morning but the sun did arrive around lunchtime.

We had a fair list which is as follows:

Canada Geese
Greylag Geese
Pied Wagtail
Lapwing
Mallard
Snipe
Kestrel
Moorhen
Shovelor
Pochard
Coot
Widgeon
Robin
Black Headed Gull
Black Tailed Godwit
Ruff
Starling
Mute Swan
Marsh Harrier (female)

The next three are all 1st sightings for me:

Wilsons Phalarope
Little Stint
Dunlin

No Photos I'm afraid.

  3. Well done on all the sightings, Phil especially the 'firsts'! There was a Red-necked Phalarope at Draycote recently but by the time I was able to get there it had gone :(
