Visit to Marshside RSPB 12th December 2013
I had been reading about a sighting of a Baikal Teal that had been seen at RSPB Marshside on Sutton’s Marsh, viewable from the path and just behind the sewage works so we decided to drive up thereto see if luck would shine on us. Of interest, also, were reports of a Possibly/probably (?) escaped Ross’s Goose and a Long-tailed Duck. With three chances like that we thought we would bound to be lucky at least with one or more of them if not all. So it was with high hopes we set off on a not too bad day, weather-wise.
