Wanted to do an update yesterday but just do not know where the time goes!

Anyway, it has been an interesting week with somewhat inclement weather but a good array of birds including some goodies. Check out www.elbf.co.uk for the full list for the day but undoubted highlight was the Cattle Egret that was found mid-afternoon. It showed very well from the new Shooting Butts Hide for a couple of hours in terrible rain. Hopefully it will still be around tomorrow.

A pale phase Arctic Skua (yes you get dark ones as well) was seen along the river as well and made for a fine end to the day.

Also this week we found a cracking meter long adult  Eel in the ditch by the bus stop on Monday and I then received a stunning sequence of photographs of a Grass Snake taking a quite large Marsh Frog!

Whatever next!?
