Leader: Drew Lyness

Morning Report: Buckenham Marshes – Wigeon Saturday! By Kathy Blake

Sixteen members of the club headed to Buckenham Marshes on a crisp, cold but beautiful morning under the splendid leadership of Drew Lyness of the RSPB. The low winter sun lit the landscape exquisitely and the photographers among the group had a field day. Visibility was great and we could clearly see Cantley sugar beet factory three miles away.

The Bird Count often comes up with some new challenges: Covid stopped it for a while; we had floods last year and this year we had ice and it hardly got above freezing all day. A lot of standing water was frozen after a prolonged period of very cold temperatures, so it was a challenge to find wildfowl. Last year there was so much water they could be anywhere and this year there was so little they were just as hard to find!
