Minsmere - 21.5.23

 It’d been many years since I’d joined a coach trip with the Watford RSPB group so when a day at probably my favourite reserve was on offer I’d signed up to go.

It was strangely quiet birdwise although the group total was 105 species I only managed 80. The usual cacophony of Black-headed Gulls was sadly dimmed due to bird flu and Mediterranean Gulls had all but vanished with just 1 bird seen. 

A total of 9 year ticks were had with the highlight 2 Cranes that I picked up calling as they flew over the west hide towards Lucky Pool/Sluice area.
