Fowlmere

A pre-work visit to Fowlmere first thing, and a good one. Two singing Chiffchaffs on the way to the hide, and a female Wigeon on the mere when I arrived. But best was just after I left when I got a call to say that two Shelducks had flown in (a Fowlmere mega). Just made it back in time before they flew off.
