I had Friday 28.10.05 off and dabbled about a bit in the dreadful morning rain, looking for birds at Holme Fen and Woodwalton Fen and Prior's Fen and Eldernell in the afternoon after it had cleared a bit. Prior's Fen was riddled with vehicles and people building a giant bonfire, so I gave up and hit Eldernell (where the best bird was a Water Pipit over). So, on Sunday I went back to Prior's and dibbled. Here I found a late Wheatear, seven Scaup (lingering from the previous weekend with an additional flock member), Peregrine and Marsh Harrier as the best birds. Enough of this idle chit-chat and gossip, here are some shots.
Little Grebe, Holme Fen, 28.10.05 [not bad for 1/25 and 1/40 in appalling light in the rain]
Great Spotted Woodpecker, Eldernell, 28.10.05
Wheatear, Prior's Fen, 30.10.05 (Equal latest record for Huntingdonshire)
