A very pleasant sunny couple of hours at Whitlingham CP bumping into Jus while there.
I had gone because of reports that the long-staying Red-necked Grebe was nice and close - and I wanted to photograph it! That didn’t quite pan out but all was not lost because a lovely 1w Caspian Gull was performing superbly by the slipway ensuring I got some of my best ever photographs of the species. Despite a concerted effort however I couldn’t find a ‘heinei ‘ Common Gull which has been seen there.
The Red-necked Grebe was distant so I decided to walk around to the hide on the far side of Great Broad. It proved to be a bit closer from there, enough to get id-able photos anyway. 2 Little Egrets were feeding along the north side too.
Earlier Jus and I had walked uphill to the far end of the Lime Avenue to ‘scope the cathedral Peregrine on its platform on the spire. Desperate stuff for his Whitlingham yearlist!
