DECEMBER 2008 - PNCR


Last visit to PCNR of the year. I was rewarded with my second-ever view of a Bittern! This time it was on the far side of the marsh, a considerable distance! But I managed to get 15 minutes of video. The image at left is a still from that video. The Bittern can just be seen in the centre of the picture amongst the reeds.
Good close views of a Water Rail at Willow Pool feeding station. These birds are very secretive but this one seems to ignore all the Twitchers and Photographers only a few feet away in the Hide!

Below, this Blue Tit was very obliging at the same feeding station.

Below left, again at the same place, two Reed Buntings, female & male were on the bird table.

The immature Pied Wagtail seen on a local Supermarket car park, was frequently seen throughout December - of course there's probably more than one immature Pied Wagtail around and it's unlikely that it is the same one as seen in July.
