Marvellous March weather, reminding me of lockdown in 2019.
Walking upriver towards Littlington the valley was quiet, with some wonderful wide-open landscape. Still good numbers of overwintering Wigeon present, not convinced by the warm weather. The resident Shelduck pairs looked splendid in the sunshine. Teal, Mallard, Shoveler and a few Oystercatcher present at some of the pools. Every ditch had a hunting Heron.
Along the river Little Egret and Redshank, with Bluetit, Goldfinch and calling Greenfinch. Overhead were Kestrel, Buzzards, Mediterranean Gull and a pair of Raven performing paired-flight breeding behaviour.
Crossing to Friston Forest at Charleston Reedbed, the woods were bright and bare, but Bluebell leaves were showing.
