Strumpshaw Fen: few people or birds today!

Tuesday morning has been the traditional meet up day at the Fen: I knew Brian and Norman were busy, but I was surprised that none of the regulars were out and about: just Brendan O in Fen Hide. To be fair, they weren't bad judges, since there weren't many birds around either! Still: I managed a pure white Pheasant to add to my list of local colour oddities, as well as Kingfisher (two by the new dipping pool!) Bullfinch, Stonechat, Water Rail (obscured by reeds) and half a dozen Marsh Harriers, two of which had wing-tags.
