RSPB Burton Mere Wetlands : 3rd February 2015
The first birding group outing of February was to RSPB Burton Mere Wetlands and like our last visit to this site 20th December 2014 there was a lot of frozen water on the site. The main pool in front of the Reception Hide was not as totally frozen as before so there were some Mallards, Wigeon and Teal looking very cold on the water/ice and also a couple of Black-tailed Godwit adding a little interest. Broadly speaking, however, it wasn’t heaving with birds. Our main aim this visit was, however, to go to the newly opened at Burton Point and this was very interesting indeed.
