8th February - Brough Haven

A quick visit as the light was going in the hope that an owl might put in an appearance. No such luck, but a pair of Reed Buntings performed just in front of the car and 3 Snipe all flew in and landed close to the gate on the far side of the channel. A Marsh Harrier worked its way over the reedbed, falling out with local Carrion Crows and a Kestrel as it did so.

A distant Marsh Harrier put in a performance over the reedbeds

Much to the consternation of the local crow population

Close up the female Reed Bunting is prettier than its dull call might make you think!
