White Stork at Smithey Fen, Cambridgeshire, 6th July 2022

7/7/2022

An un-ringed White Stork had been reported at Smithey Fen near Cottenham just north of Cambridge. Difficult to decide if it was a truly wild bird as there a number of released or escaped birds around. Worthwhile making the relatively short journey to check it out. On the path walking up to the location a family of Green Woodpeckers landed briefly.

Reed Buntings, Yellowhammer and Greenfinch were present in the hedgerow and the flooded area held Lapwing and a couple of pair of Little-ringed Plovers. The Stork was fairly easy to spot! I managed to get a number of shots but it stayed fairly distant.

An interesting place, and an interesting bird!
