In his latest blog, as he headed off to represent the RSPB at the Wayland Agricultural Show, communications officer David White tells us what’s been seen and photographed at this beautiful Suffolk reserve.
Local photographer Matt Walton was out and about early Froday morning and captured some striking images of the great white egret, having a tussle with one of the local grey herons and coming in to land:
Thank you to Matt for sharing these “great” (sorry, I couldn’t resist!) images with us. The bird was visible from the riverbank for most of the day but it was rather mobile.
Volunteer Les Bunyan also popped in for a walk and our slideshow shows some of the pictures that he took of:
:: A kingfisher at New Fen viewpoint;
:: A black tailed skimmer resting on the path; and
:: A ruddy darter doing likewise.
Thank you very much to Les for sharing these pictures with us.
Meanwhile, elsewhere on the reserve, a juvenile common tern was on the washland and a hobby flew over West Wood. A single crane flew over Joist Fen viewpoint and two bearded tits were seen in front of the viewpoint. A stoat was also seen alongside Trial Wood.
