Spent a few hours this morning birding with Malc Curtin on my old patch,Marbury county park.We were hoping to see the Bittern but it looks like its moved on after not been seen for a over a week now,we gave it a good go but were only rewarded with a calling Water rail.The rest of the morning was just spent wandering around taking a few photos.
Beautiful Day on Patch
Great Crested Grebe
Reed Bunting
Nuthatch
Robin
After a good walk around the patch i moved on to Newchurch common where i soon found the red head Smew. The bird was always asleep and i had to leave as the heavens opened and the light was to bad to get any decent photos.

Just as i was leaving i got a text off Malc to say the Northern Harrier had been accepted onto the British list which was a nice armchair tick that had took five years to go on.Happy Days!
