Arriving just after first light there are a few cars in the car park. Looking out over the Nene Washes we see plenty of Buzzards a couple of Marsh Harriers loads of Lapwings with large flocks of Golden Plover,it's very cold & the Owls are not playing ball.
A birder gets us onto 3 common Cranes for a year tick for jimmy & myself & over the time spent here we see at least 9 Cranes.
Then Jimmy finds a Shortie perched by a gate, it's a long way over but good scope views had of it for a good tick.
Later on everybody but myself gets a close view of another Owl on the path right in front of us, it never hung about for more than a few seconds but they all got on it.
So with a good couple of ticks in the bag we head down the A1 & stop off at RSPB Sandy.
Just hanging around the car park feeders gets Brian a tick when we see over 20 Brambling along with Greenfinch loads of Chaffinch a single Song Thrush a few Nuthatch & Treecreppers plus the odd Coal Tit.
A walk down to the hide gets much the same plus a single Great spotted Woodpecker. We bump into Steve G while here always nice to meet up with him.
