Out again on Bittern watch or watching spaces where Bittern should be, another place where Bittern had been seen daily up to today, I think they get wind of me going and then move on to reserves had been to a few days before. Anyway no Bittern today but a good walk around we had seeing various birds like Blue Tit, Great Tit and Long Tailed Tits. The main area for birdlife today was from around the Willow Pool Hide here we saw Coal Tit, Reed Bunting, Dunnock, Chaffinch, Greenfinch, Goldfinch, Robin, Pheasant, Dunnock, Bullfinch and Mallard. Outside the hide we had views of Redwing, Siskin, Redpolls and Blackbirds. A great day out ending off the 2011 wildlife year on a good note
