First Visit to Fen Drayton Lakes

And what a first visit!  We entered the car park at 12:15pm yesterday and before we had the flask out a bittern rose at 12:20 immediately in front of us and flew majestically, despite the mobbing gull, round to our rear and appeared to descend towards Ferry Pond.  Sandwiches consumed, we were then welcomed by a pair of bullfinches as we began our walk round Ferry Lagoon.  So many birds and such a pleasant afternoon despite some poor weather and clinging mud.  We will definitely be returning as we only scratched the surface!  Well done the team here.
