Did Fen Drayton for a few hours in the afternoon. Breeding Avocets were a surprise amongst the other waders of Redshank, Oystercatcher, and Little Ringed Plover. Two pairs of Egyptian Geese, one lot with four young. Lots of Common Terns and Swifts. Alos the year’s first odonata in Common Blue Damselfly.
Found these young Long-tailed Tits huddled together on a branch being fed by their parents. Not easy to photograph as they were deep inside the bush and it was rather dim.
