Burton Mere - 12 March 2012


A miserable morning weather-wise, so sought sanctuary in the Marsh Covert hide at Burton.

Lots of Wigeon, Teal and Black Headed Gulls about early on and I spotted a few Pintail in the distance towards the farmland. Waders included Black Tailed Godwit, Dunlin and a couple of Avocet flew in mid morning.

Highlights for me were Spotted Redshank and Little Egret. And, a Hen Harrier came through low over the water (almost in slo-mo) on two occasions, scattering the BHG's and waders.

On the way back to the car-park, I  saw a few Dunnock mooching around on ground near to feeders.
