    Hi, Welney is just over the border in Norfolk I think - but always worth a visit. Loads of good sightings and good reserves / spots in Cambs mentioned here: http://cbcwhatsabout.blogspot.com/ Happy birding :t: Jonny

    Red-footed Falcon, Ouse Fen RSPB Hi All, I am able to go for the R-f Falcon first thing tomorrow and canne wait :t: Just wondering if anyone who's been down can confirm the location. Looking at birdguides I think it should be by the orange arrow in the attached. Any tips / further directions...

    Kiddicare Peregrines Driving through Peterborough today I had two peregrines perched on the Kidicare warehouse next to the Parkway dual carriage way... They looked a almost plastic though - like models had been put there as bird scarers or something? Can any Cambs birders confirm either way...

    Well I wasnt aware there was a Black-Necked Grebe there - I had gone on the back of the G'Nern Diver and Red-Necked Grebe reports. Although BNG was an absolute treat. Colin can clarify the 2nd bird - I have clarified the 1st report away. I am immature all over, I posted back here after an...

    Bored of this now. If that's the case then yep Colin was with me when the 2nd bird flew over as one another chap who was with us earlier on, we were then joined by a 3rd birder & moved over to get better views on the black necked grebe. I said it was widely reported as I remembered it been...

    All I can do is confirm the first sighting - include as you see fit. birdguides reported the sighting you mention above. I cannot vouch for who the birders with me were - although one was with me when I first spotted the Peregrine at the visitors center & then again while watching the Black...

    First bird female, second bird male. Just had a look & Red Breasted Merganser were widely reported on G-Water last week. I was there all morning and failed to see the Scoter or Diver its is a big old bit of water. So no matter how good your birding prowess its not unlikely you could have...

    1st bird was defo a Merganser - I got really good views as did the group of birders I was with. 2nd view - I got a less prolonged view although I would have said Merganser, as did the birders behind me who got better views. I was scoping my 1st Black-Necked Grebe at the time! Edit: Having...

    Hi MarK, Blimey, gutted I missed out on Red-Necked & Diver. Never mind. Had two views of Merganser one male & one female. Both in flight, first one from the car park with the visitors center from which you can walk up to the hides (possibly Mandeer?) then the male from the next car park along...

    Brilliant visit to Grafham Water this morning - saw the Black-Necked Grebe - a 1st for me along with Red-Breasted Merganser. Didn't manage Gt Northern Diver or Red-Necked. But a Peregrine hunting over the water more than made up for that. Superb, I'll defo get back to G-Water. Then nipped up to...
