Not content with being blown about and rained on once this weekend I decided to venture out this morning and try my luck at Blatherwycke. Today's weather was supposed to be a little better than it was yesterday but I couldn't see or feel much difference, let's just say my waterproofs got a proper testing!

My birding began at the lake where the immature female Scaup was still present and associating with Tufted Ducks. Unfortunately I couldn't get a picture as my camera is not rainproof though I did at least get good views of her through my scope. I couldn't find anything else amongst the wildfowl but there was a Great White Egret, they're still quite scarce here and always nice to see. My next and final stop was at the churchyard where I spent some time looking for Hawfinches. None appeared when I was there but it seemed as if few passerines were inclined to move about in the high winds and I didn't see much at all. The church itself was open and I took the opportunity to escape the weather for a while and have a look around. I'm hoping next weekend is storm free, churches are all very well but I'd rather look at wildlife.
