Fowlmere

SnipeA beautiful sunny spring-like day, so popped to Fowlmere mid-afternoon for a break from work. Not too bad. Nine Snipe feeding in the open, a female Tufted Duck, 16 Teal, a pair of Gadwall, and a few Siskins.

StoatBest sighting however was a Stoat that I stumbled upon. Looking directly at me, unsure of what to do, it would have been a great photo  if I could have stepped back a bit to take with a clear view. After firing a few shots, through some leaves, I tried it, but the Stoat inevitably scarpered.
