Wicken Fen with RPS Nature Group

A dull grey day on Saturday made photography difficult with high iso requiring noise reduction. The star was definitely the Little Owl pair. It was also good to see a tree creeper and, of course, the roe Deer and Konig ponies.

Stanwick Lakes Away from the Water

Stanwick Lakes offered some excellent opportunities for close encounters with the wildlife, perhaps because the park is very popular with walkers, cyclists and families and the birds etc have become accustomed to people. Blackbirds, Magpies and Muntjac foraged happily in good range and even the Buzzard was not as wary as usual.

Waders and Wildfowl at Welney

One of the most spectacular sights at Welney are the large flocks of Black-tailed Godwits and Lapwings that rest of the islands on the wash, taking to the air every time a Marsh Harrier or other raptor passed overhead.

RSPB Frampton Marsh Birds

Overcast but largely dry day for our RPS Nature Group visit to Frampton Marshes. Not ideal for distant photography, but I did enjoy the landscape (later blog post) and a few birds came close enough for portraits in habitat. Frampton is renown for its huge flocks of ducks and waders and also Raptors - we  enjoyed views of Peregrine, Merlin and, for one Member, Short-eared Owl.

Springtime at Pensthorpe

 Spring is definitely in full swing at Pensthorpe with lots of chicks around (Avocet, Moorhen, Crane and Greylag and Barnacle Geese) displays from the Black-winged Stilts, Corncrake, Black-tailed Godwit and Ruff. As well as being a showcase attraction for birds, Pensthorpe does valuable conservation work, breeding and releasing Corncrakes and Common Cranes back into the wild.
