London Wetland Centre
I dropped by the WWT London Wetland Centre this afternoon to try and catch up with Bittern. First stop was the Dulverton Hide - I opened the hide door, sat down, opened the window and there siting on top of a clump of reeds was a Bittern in full view! Unfortunately it was far too distant for a photo. Good numbers of duck were also seen including about 200 Teal, 30 Shoverler, 20 Wigeon, 6 Pintail (inc. 3 drakes), 20 Gadwall and 1 Shelduck. Also noted were 2 Water Rail, 7 Common Snipe, 40 Lapwing, 1 Kingfisher and 1 Sparrowhawk.

Far too distant for a photo!? Get yourself some digiscoping kit - although I guess it could be a little difficult without a Man's Scope! Love the blog - Get it out there and self-publicise, everybody's at it!!!
