Good to be back!

Spent a very cold morning walking around Strumpshaw: no sign of Mark, Brian or Norman - perhaps they've been abducted! But Kim and Adrian were pleasant to chat with as always, and there were a few nice birds too! Jays, Fieldfares and Redwings were passing through in flocks and an obliging Bittern chugged past Fen Hide before the 'little men with scythes' arrived to scare everything away! An otter torpedoed through, giving good views, but no chance of a photo...On the riverbank, Liz / Elizabeth found two huge puffballs!
