Monday 16th January 2017

Very much business as usual today with the Ferruginous Duck on the Broadwater, the two pairs of Bearded Tits frequenting the north-eastern end of the reed bed and a count of 42 Twite made in Thornham Harbour. Both Barn and Tawny Owls were recorded, the latter having attracted the attention of the local Blackbirds which in turn led to it revealing its tree top roosting site.
