Went back to Longham today with my son, but found the car park mega full
as the canoeists were there in force this afternoon so parked at Green Lane and
walked down past the horse paddocks.
Chiffchaffs and Chaffinches singing away as we walked down the lane, out on
north lake it looked like most of the Tufted Duck were on the water with a few
med gulls and G C Grebes.
A Cetti’s Warbler was calling on the western side of the lake, scanning
over the fields I found the Great White Egret down on the river up stream from
the dead tree, going through my records I have seen Great White Egrets ( most likely the same individual or one of the three) more than Little Egrets this year 17 times, also there was 2 Shelduck in the pool in the shire horse field. We did not
stay long as Dan as been very unwell most of the year and was starting to feel a
bit under weather especial in the sunny parts round the were it was quite warm, so we made our way back the same way as we came in and found a
Great Spotted Woodpecker, but still no sign of those darn Bullfinches.
