On Wednesday we set off on the long-planned excursion into foreign territory.  We set off in bright sunshine, which turned to hazy sunshine at Howden before darkening to full overcast conditions by the time we crossed the border.  
Black-necked Grebe
 The day started well with Stock Dove, Willow Warbler, and other more common birds around the car park.

We set off and had been going less than 10 minutes before we were able to add a Swallow, Sand Martins, Linnets, a pair of Kestrels, Skylarks and Meadow Pipits.

We were lucky to find a pair of Black-necked Grebes very close to the path we were on.  Just after this a Swift flew around us, and we saw a common Tern.  Meanwhile we heard our first Bittern for a few years.  as we continued this became louder and louder until we were the closest we've been to a calling Bittern for more than a decade.

Our journey was interspersed with many sightings of Linnets, which seemed to be nest-building.  We fond a pair of long-tailed Tits around the same habitat.  Although the sun didn't come out, it did began to feel warmer, and we were surrounded with insects.  Luckily, they didn't appear to be of the biting variety.

This was an experimental visit to this reserve, and we discovered that the route we took was too long for a 2.5 hour walk.  next time we will have to take a shorter circuit.  However, the participants were very impressed with both the quantity and quality of the birds seen, and they are keen for this venue to be added to the standard itinerary in the future.
