This was only the second birding day out of the month. A combination of factors had led to us not doing much birding so it was good to get out again, especially to Martin Mere which had been closed for some months due to Bird Flu.
I wouldn’t say it was the best visit to Martin Mere ever but it was a nice, if a bit misty and cold, day and we got to see some nice Marsh Harrier behaviour and even got one year tick – Whooper Swan!
