RSPB Minsmere

 

Spent the whole of Monday the 20th on the reserve. Some 30 odd years since my last visit. Not the easiest of places to find.

A very pleasant day weather wise and I ended the day with 51 birds on my day list, plus 3 heard only. I added 3 birds on to my year list, avocet, barnacle goose and Bewick's swan.

Started the trip by watching adders basking in the sunlight.

Bewick's swan were the first addition to my year list and feeding near them were my first 2 avocets of the year. My walk around the whole reserve took me all day and I covered just over 8 miles.
