Viv went birding to his local wetland area that is now growing
significantly in size. It has started attracting good numbers of birds
including plenty of migrants. Whilst there he saw a good number of water birds
including both Grey Heron and Black-crowned Night Heron, the later species not
so common in the Kingdom although regular in small numbers. Other water birds
seen included mixed flocks of waders and terns as well as ducks with Northern
Pintail being the commonest. Also a few Spur-winged Lapwings were present in
the area. Both Common Kestrel and Lesser Kestrel were in the trees and flying
over as well as two or three Montagu’s Harriers. Passerine migrants included
Ortolan Bunting and Great Reed Warbler.
