RSPB Burton Mere Wetlands : 21st July 2015
We filled in a spare Tuesday morning with a visit to Burton Mere Wetlands. It was a fairly overcast day but this can sometimes be useful at this site as bright sunlight causes a lot of glare. A quick look at the main scrape revealed the usual high numbers of Black-tailed Godwits nut there were also a couple of Ruff and a pair of Little Ringed Plovers. The ducks were all in eclipse plumage already. We had heard that there had been a Tawny Owl spotted by the fishing pond so we decided to have a look around there.
