Amwell and Rye Meads, 21st March 2024

An un-ringed White Stork was reported at Amwell, but by the time I got there it was a distant speck over Rye Meads. However, a Cattle Eagle was excellent compensation, though somewhat distant.

And another good find was this Adult Mediterranean Gull.

And for comparison, here with Common and Black-Headed Gulls.

News filtered through of other good birds at Rye Meads so a short drive south gave distant views of 6 Black-Tailed Godwits.

And a very brazen Muntjac!

And ridiculous close-up of an Egyptian Goose.

A female Marsh Harrier was present and gave some good views from the Draper Hide.

And to round things off - a couple of Garganey!

What a cracking day!
