Back to Brandon Marsh

Robin

It feels like months since I have been to Brandon Marsh, so, this morning we decided to go there for brunch and then a gentle stroll to have a look around.

Brunch for me was a full english breakfast, which was not too bad although a bit greasy for me and my birder's wife had poached eggs on toast which was served with a side salad and coleslaw (a bit odd but there you go).

We decided to only head out to the main hide on

Great Tit

the reserve which looks over the east marsh and fortunately had the hide to ourselves for a change (as that hide is usually full to the brim of photographers).  The colder weather had certainly brought in the gulls, as there were a lot loafing around on the pool, including several Herring, Lesser Black Backed and Common Gulls and one Yellow Legged Gull.  The remainder were Black Headed and despite a good search I could not find a Mediterranean Gull lurking in with the crowd.  Other birds of note that we saw from the hide were a Dunlin, Lapwings and one female Goldeneye.

We then ambled back to the visitor centre and enroute I took a couple snaps before a browse round the shop and back home.
