Pochard

A female Pochard at a cold and frosty Fowlmere was not only an addition to the year list, but actually a first for me at Fowlmere.

Barn Owl

One Barn Owl seen along Fowlmere road whilst driving home late in the evening.

Fowlmere

A foggy hour in the hide with Tom at dusk where the Barn Owl was once again seen.

Brimstone

The sunny weather brought out the year's first butterfly: A Brimstone, seen from the garden; my earliest ever by over a month!

Fowlmere

A short morning walk on a bright crisp morning didn't lead to much apart from three Teal and about twenty Siskins. However, spring was in the air, with a singing Song Thrush and a drumming Great-spotted Woodpecker.

At least one Snipe was added in another short walk after dusk .

Golden Plover

A flock of about two hundred Golden Plover east over the garden first thing was a long awaiting addition to the garden list.

Fowlmere

A Fox and a Barn Owl were seen in a short walk shortly before dusk.
