Foxton and Fowlmere

A Skylark was in a display flight near the train station as I waited for my train to Cambridge at first light. Odd for October!

Fowlmere in the evening began with a Cormorant (over), a Gadwall, two Teals, and three Common Snipes as well as a Buzzard. A Peacock Butterfly was also flying in the drizzle. Heavy rain then kept me in the hide until dusk (I had cycled, so was awaiting a break in the rain) and during this wait, a Jack Snipe flew in, just long enough to positively identify before it became too dark!
