Todays sightings
A beautiful day at WWT Welney with plenty of young and fledgling birds around from the moorhens feeding chicks in the front pool to blackbirds taking their first flights outside reedbed hide. Grazing Officer Shaun whilst off checking the cows on Lady Fen came across some beautiful Teal ducklings hiding in the grass.
There are also 3 pairs of barn owls breeding at WWT Welney in various barns around the site. They are having a fantastic year with large young nearly ready to fledge the adults can often be seen hunting over Lady Fen for voles and mice hiding in the grass.
