WWT Welney 18/01/2026. Day 2 of 4

Post by PimperneBloke »

We decided on a more relaxed day, and I went for a wander round Lady Fen (where the hare walk was), whilst Mrs PB stayed in the cottage and read and then we met for a bite to eat in the cafe (a very nice sausage egg and bacon panini) and some time in the hide again

Thanks William, it's a bit of a shame the light wasn't better earlier in the walk, but there was certainly plenty to see, and it stayed dry :)

Thanks Bob, I couldn't believe the numbers of Lapwing, nor work out why they'd all take off together, have a bit of a murmuration, then settle again. It wasn't until I saw the pics at home on the big screen I realised there were Golden Plover in the flocks too. If I thought of it I should have done a video, but the 4 photo's of distant specks was a sort of panorama view with my smaller lens on, to try and give an idea of the numbers
