Toft Village December 12 2022

 This is our village in the snow last Monday for the records

Welney Winter Landscapes etc

Final images from Welney showing the frozen water and frosted vegetation, and some of the birds around the centre.

Short-Eared Owls in the Frost

There were three Short-eared Owls at Welney on Wednesday - we saw them briefly in the morning quite close as they exited from their roost area. Later we enjoyed watching them quartering Lady Fen at a distance. but still unmistakable

Welney Swans on Ice

We visited Welney on Wednesday in subzero temperature and misty conditions which made great backdrops for the Whooper Swans, Greylags and ducks. There is very little unfrozen water  for the swans so numbers for the roost were much lower than usual.

Frosty Dawn from A10

Some images as the sun rose on a frosty misty morning on Sunday (near Barkway) on way to Rye meads

 

Birds at Rye Meads RSPB Reserve

Some images from a RPS Nature Group outing to Rye Meads on a very cold frosty day with very limited light.  As usual, the coots were bust squabbling while the Robins followed us around hoping for some disturbed insect life under our feet.
