WWT Welney

Up to Welney today for a few hours' birding. The Washes are flooded again, after Sunday's heavy rain, so most of the waders (including the first Avocets of the year, spotted only last week) have gone where the water is shallower, and most of the Whooper Swans and all of the Pochard have left for their breeding grounds. A good range of species present nonetheless, including at least thirteen Snipe.

Lovely photos, looks like summer, so blue.

Unfortunately, while the sun was quite warm, the wind was freezing cold and cut like a knife. It was OK in the hides, though, and the birds looked lovely in the sunshine - it really brought the colours out.
