| Post subject: | Whoopers Deeping Lakes 18 March 1.30 - 4.10 |
One of the highlights this afternoon was a pair of Whoopers - 2 flew off the east end of the main lake, then saw two half an hour later at west end. Assumed same two. As well as the usual tufted, mallard, long tailed tit (just 2), greylag, lapwing etc also saw: Green woodpecker Reed buntings - 2m, 1f on reeds on the Welland side of the reserve Shoveler - 1m Goosander - only 1f this time Pochard - couple of males Teal - 2 pairs on the main island in the big lake Shelduck - 1m on one of the smaller lakes Kingfisher - first one I've seen at Deeping, flying far side of the large lake Gadwall - pair Oystercatcher - still a pair on gravel bank, largest car park lake. Also 5 further up the Welland Redwing - flock of c20 flew out of the reserve to trees on Welland bank, then drifted back in ones and twos. Cormorant - only 1 Heron - one in tree near main lake Still a few goldeneye. In amongst the usual great crested grebes was one very pale, no sign of ruff at all. Very immature?? |
