Heading up to Cumbria prior to a 4 day birding holiday in Scotland with Heatherlea.
Brilliant lighting on M40 and I managed to see at least 10 Red Kites on the stretch from the M25 to Oxford.
Stopped off at Pennington Flashes for a planned break. A lovely Willow Tit soon came to the feeder at the Bunting Hide. Lots of Bullfinches and Reed. Buntings too. From the Teal Hide I saw my first Bittern of the year. There were so many Goosanders around and showing well.
I had to carry on with my journey and missed the gull roost where an Iceland Gull and a Mediterranean Gull were expected.
A good start.
