Decided to pay a visit to Marsh Lane this morning as I had not been there for over six months, a pity really as it is a super little reserve, and not too far between hides in inclement weather. I arrived at 0630, but was not the first on site, and amassed a total of 62 bird species before leaving at 1100. It was bright and sunny but a keen wind cooled any thoughts of summer and wearing shorts! Year ticks were Tree Sparrow and Lesser Whitethroat. Had a brief chat with Nick B before meeting Max and ended up with Max on the old road chasing Lesser Whitethroat, Garden Warbler and Common Whitethroat (I bet his pics are better than mine!!!). More pics on my website.
