6th November 2005. Birdspotting / Photography.

A very grey and drizzly day. Many of the birds seem to have been frightened off by the host of firework parties from last night. There was, however, an abundance of Wigeon and Teal. I was hoping to see the Gargeny that had been reported but it seems to have left already. The rain increased steadily throughout the day and the number of people at the Centre reflected this. A good few hours were spent just sat watching the day to day goings-on of the birds. Sue went off to 'Wildside' and the far end of the Centre. A total of about 200 photographs were taken, nearly all of which were good enough to keep as a record!
We had left home at about midday and were home again by about 16:00. Cold and slightly damp but, nevertheless, very happy with the day out.
