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.
