Lapwings (or not) and more

azziriaUp to the Washes to take a look at our Lapwing area. No Lapwings at all on our farmland (largely because the Washes haven't flooded this Spring, but also because the winter wheat in the fields is now too high). We did see a Barn Owl though, so it was well worth going.
After we'd walked our stretch my survey partner, R, took me to Berry Fen, part of the RSPB's new Ouse Fen Nature Reserve project. I've not been there before, in fact never even really realised it was there, so I'm very grateful to R for showing it to me. Mallard, Mute Swans, Coots, Moorhens, Gadwall, Shoveler, Godwits, Dunlin, Redshanks, Sedge Warblers, four Buzzards above, a solitary Egret and, yes, Lapwings. Loads of them, plus chicks :-)
A good morning :-)
