A quick blog from a very quiet Wetlands!

Ah well - you win some you lose some. There are certain days where nothing goes right. I spent a full day at the wetlands and the wildlife just didn't show. Despite a good few hours hours in the Peter Scott hide, the most dramatic moment was an lumbering Heron sending the Godwits up in the air briefly.

I waited patiently for the Kingfisher but it only appeared briefly skimming quickly across the water leaving a blue flash, and avoiding a number of perches where they are known to sit and fish. It was a little windy today so that water wasnt too still, which isn't good for the old KF's. Instead i just watched the Little Grebe and the Greylag Geese before heading home after a pretty uneventful day.

Better luck next time eh........................... Stu
