My year list kicked off at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust Reserve at Welney in Norfolk. Always a great place to visit for the wildfowl spectacle, including Whooper Swans and various species of dabbling duck. It’s also an ideal place for some photography.<\/p>\n

During our time there I tallied 52 species including, Whooper Swan, Great White Egret, Pochard, Pintail, Golden Plover, Black-tailed Godwit, Ruff, Red Kite, Marsh Harrier and Tree Sparrow. A steady start to my birding year 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
