...a Brunian Birder...
Instead of going to Elsea Woods for my after school birdwatch this week I decided to take an hour cycle ride down to Baston Fen NR. Baston is known for having its good days- and its bad, but luckily today was pretty good:t:
I started off with hearing a cuckoo on arrival, and then when walking along the River Glen a G.S woodie flew past, also saw 4 Tufties and many mallard pairs on the river. Also 1 Great Crested Grebe and a flock of Greylags flew past. Actually on the Reserve there were a few pairs of Sedge Warblers and many Reed Buntings in the reeds. Also counted 7 Snipe feeding in the reeds (only saw because we accidentally scared them off!). Also heard a Unusual gull like call from overhead and only to find 2 Common Terns!
