Took my mind off things with a visit to WWT Welney this morning. A couple of photos and brief thoughts with links to oh-so-exciting BirdTrack lists at https://occasionalducks.com/2025/09/14-september-2025-wwt-welney

Good start to the trip to #Norfolk with three mates; Whooper Swan, Tree Sparrow, Chinese Water Deer, Short-eared Owl and Water Pipit amongst the highlights.

#ThreeDuckThursday is brought to you by a trio of #Teal this week.

#Shovellers, and, I think, #Pochard at #WWTWelney the other day.

Visited #WWTWelney today, where I saw about 30 #CattleEgrets alongside the cows while drinking my tea in the cafe. Then saw a #GreatWhiteEgret in the reeds from the main hide. Finally, walking around Lady Fen I saw a couple more #GreatWhiteEgrets mixed in with the #CattleEgret - clearly distinguishable by the huge size difference (pictured). Don’t be taken in just because they’re near cows!
Also, they are #NotADuck
