Birdfair - 21.8.16

Great White Egret

For the first time in years I paid a visit to Birdfair at Rutland Water. I went up with Ricky Flesher, Brendon Fagan and Terry Smith and despite many products taking my fancy including the new Leica Noctovid bins I managed not to spend too much money! The birding on the other hand was pretty good with 2 Great White Egret, 4 Greenshank, 15 Green Sandpiper, Wood Sandpiper, Hobby, Curlew, 2 Ruff, 6 Egyptian Goose, 5 Black-tailed Godwit, 7 RC Pochard, 2 Osprey, 2 Black Tern and 2 Tree Sparrow being noteworthy.
