3rd Free Session: RSPB Blacktoft Sands

Thursday's free end of term class was to Blacktoft Sands.  I was lucky enough to see a Bittern from the visitor centre before the class arrived.  However, the Marsh harriers put on a good display for the class participants.  it was possible to see one male collecting reeds from location and transporting one stalk at a time to a proposed nest site.  The Avocets were mainly at Marshland and Ousefleet.  The ducks were sprinkled liberally throughout the reserve.
