barn owl 1 with a vole n its claws about midday - up by Neville Wood
kestrel 3
fieldfare just 1
lapwing
skylark a few singing
willow tit
green woodpecker 2
great spotted woodpecker 4
buzzard 1
nuthatch 1
redshank 2 along the Witham
all the normal wildfowl on the pit other than goldeneye and mallard
nice view of a stoat swam across a drain then came within a couple of yards then vered off as it noticed me
didn't see the marsh harrier or the stonechats which were supposed to be in the area at the Neville Wood end of the fen

Would someone be available to take me around Nocton Fen some time? I'd be able to get to Metheringham by bus or train, but would need picking up from there....
