No White-fronted Silver Lining To This Cloud

 Shozzer and I took an after work trip over to Titchmarsh nature reserve on something of a wild goose chase. Our targets were the four White-fronted Geese which made a surprise return to the site yesterday, they had originally been present for a few hours on the fourth but were then thought to have moved on. There was no news coming through of either a positive or negative nature earlier in the day but we put that down to the poor weather conditions.

Great White  Egret


A break in the latest instalment of this winter's monsoon meant we enjoyed a dry though sadly unproductive walk around part of the site. There was plenty of evidence of the recent rainfall and the path along the river was flooded which meant that we couldn't take a look at the fields around Elinor trout lake. We did not connect with the White-fronts and it looks as if they've repeated their disappearing act, whether it's temporary or not remains to be seen. Very little else to report, a pair of Oystercatchers and a Great White Egret were the pick of the bunch.
