Great days birding today with pals #WWTWelney & #NTWickenFen 52 species lots of Whooper swan Pintail Wigeon Pink footed geese Marsh harriers Hen harrier then Common crane Barn owl plus a nice festive panini
Nothing too exciting from the main observatory at Welney in the early afternoon but there are plenty of birds on the water. We are looking forward to going to a floodlit swan feed. #WWTWelney
Small and small-ish waders from the main observatory at WWT Welney this afternoon. Always good to see a Temminck's Stint, even if it was a bit distant (for such a small bird). #WWTWelney
Spoonbill
Ruff
Godwit
Common Sandpiper
Very pleasant walk at WWT Welney this morning. Obviously not much water around but, it seems to me, there has been definite uptick in the numbers of waders/waterfowl visible from the main hide. #WWTWelney

It's got to be a rather special morning when a Roe Deer actually walks towards you rather than flees, early this morning at #WWTWelney so close it nearly didn't fit in the frame.

A Whooper Swan at WWT Welney Wetland Centre this week. #samsungs23ultra #whooperswan #wwtwelney #birds
On the way to the coast, we called in at WWT Welney. There was a handful of Whooper Swan from the main hide. They were very near the hide so we could see the yellow bill markings.

Capturing photos of birds flying has to be one of the hardest things. Got plenty of practice in at WWT Welney on Monday though

Arrived in North Norfolk with my brother for a few days. Came via #WWTWelney where we were treated to some splendid Short-eared Owl views, as well as hundreds of Pochards and some Whooper Swans #UKBirding

Seeing Whooper Swans at #WWTWelney today gave me the opportunity to compare them with Bewick's Swans, which I saw at #WWTSlimbridge earlier in the year. 🦢 #UKBirding
