Today, we took our second trip of the year to WWT Welney. I checked what was “showing” before we set off. Common, or Eurasian, cranes (Grus grus) apparently, more than thirty of them. We saw a few a long way off from the main hide on arrival and then a couple of small flocks in flight later in the day from different vantage points on site.
Of the other birds sighted by others today, we saw: Goldfinch, Linnet, Meadow Pipit, Pied Wagtail, Tree Ssparrow, Marsh Harrier, Kestrel Greenshank, Black-tailed Godwit, Lapwing, Chiffchaff, Tufted Duck, Pochard, Wigeon, Teal, Mallard, Greylag Goose, Canada Goose, Cormorant Grey Heron, and possibly Curlew Sandpiper (but it may well have been merely a Dunlin, in fact, it almost certainly was).
