Rutland Water - Great Birdwatching Site But.........

It is many years since we visited Rutland Water for bird watching and were impressed at the changes they have made to the reserve at Egleton. We walked round lagoons 1-4 and, in addition to hundreds of the common duck species, saw Red Crested Pochard and American Widgeon. There were lots of Little Egrets and 6 Great Egrets (juvenile with yellow beak shown here) and a Bittern on constant display in the reeds). However, it was all at a great distance other than this Blackbird gorging himself on Berries, a Heron and a Cormorant.
