Welney WWT
On the way up to our first Norfolk tour of 2020 Tom H-J and I called in at Welney WWT centre.
- We just missed out on tree sparrows on the feeders in the visitor centre - there were no birds at all, presumably they were scared off by a raptor.
- On the nearest island there was a snipe, my first of the year.
- A kestrel flew overhead, the first of several seen today.
- When play resumed at the feeders the only new bird seen was a female reed bunting.
We signed up for a hare walk, starting at 2 pm. This was most enjoyable with at least 8 hares seen.
We then returned to the centre to take in the swan feeding session.
- On the way to the hide there was a superb barn owl following a path parallel the stream flowing east away from the centre.
- There were 50+ whooper swans at the feeding session but no bewicks.
A very gentle afternoon session to get us warmed up for the 3 day event to follow with Marcus.
