Sue and Peter joined Linda and me for a drive across the Fens to Welney. We arrived just as the reserve opened, and immediately walked along to Lyle Hide in search of the reported White Stork. When we arrived we found it had 'just' flown off: this recurred throughout the day! However, a flock of four Glossy Ibises were much more obliging, flying in front of the hide several times before settling close by.
Other decent birds came a few at a time: a pair of Pintail, two Spoonbills, several handsome Ruff, House Martins and Swallows, four lingering Whooper Swans and - my favourites - lots of Tree Sparrows. A great day out in beautiful, sunny weather.
