Far Ings in the Snow

For the first time in 14 years today's class was postponed because of the threat of heavy snow.  We were supposed to be visiting the high wolds to observe large birds of prey.  Hopefully, we can catch up on that the week after the course was officially due to end.  Meanwhile 2 Friday morning stalwarts risked a visit to Ness End/Far Ings in the snow.  They were rewarded with excellent views of a Water Rail, and a Bittern - allegedly!

 The photographer insists that there is a Bittern in this photo.  I remain to be convinced!

It's a bit like Where's Wally, funny name for a Bitten. Great Rail shots mind
