Burton Mere Wetlands : 24th November 2015
The birding Group Tuesday on the 24th was to Burton Mere Wetlands. The weather was poor and there weren’t many birds around, particularly at Inner Marsh Farm, but we did get a nice field of mixed Fieldfare, Redwing, Mistle Thrush and Starlings in the sloping field on your left as you walk back from Inner Marsh Farm. There was also a nice flock of Linnets beautifully lit as they fed on the crest of the hill. Apart from this a great view of a Kestrel hovering right in front of us at the Marsh Covert Hide (where we also saw two Common Snipe) and a Marsh Harrier were the highlights.
