Nene Washes - 5.5.19

Baikal Teal (left)

I joined Matt and Kai on my first ever visit to this site in Cambs for a mega rare duck that I'd only seen once before also in Cambs! We nabbed the last spot in the car park and walked up onto the bank and almost froze to death in the wind despite it being May. 29 Avocet greeted us quickly followed by our target bird the drake Baikal Teal. It never showed closely and was asleep for the majority of the time we were there. A Cuckoo tried to remind us it was spring and not winter by singing from trees behind us.
