Reports of interesting birds at Welney WWT attracted me to visit. White-fronted Geese, Tundra Bean Geese, Common Cranes, Bewick's Swans, Goldeneye - a very interesting selection.

Except that I did not see any of them during a four hour stretch. So what does one do? Make the best of it and try to get different shots of the usual. Several flocks of Greylag Geese were circulating around the observatory.

The usual Pochard.

The occasional Tufted Duck

and from Lyle Hide, many Wigeon.

So not a great selection but an enjoyable time never-the-less.
