He folks, all the best in birding for the coming year. At the risk of being miserable. As if. No car as it is dock after failing to get us home on Christmas night. Mind you recovery was amazing. Well done to all concerned, but no chance of it being looked at until Jan 6th.
Last years list was not the best, but then what do you expect. No younger. I just remember the times when birding and walking were no problem. My best being on New Years day in a charity race, 101. As for now the list is.
Magpie, Herring Gull, Blackbird, Feral Pigeon.
But perhaps of interest are the following pictures which I have acquired from a book on Fritton Lake. It shows the duck decoy in use at the end of the 1800's. Birds where moved about for this purpose of trapping. This will never be seen again. The only one that I am aware of is Barnby Broad but that is well filled up with rubbish. So take a look.
