The Whitlingham Bird Report for 2023 is now available to download from the Bird Reports page or from here

4th February 2009

Well I've got to do something to make sure I leave the house, haven't I? I went down to Whitlingham again, to find the entire Little Broad frozen, and only three large gaps in the ice on the Great Broad. A long time spent scanning, no Smew. Watching from the bird screen in the conservation area I managed to pick up a Jack Snipe (1st one at Whitlingham), and a Little Grebe was on the river. Careful scrutiny of the old trees near the Little Broad gave me my first Treecreeper of the year, so not a complete loss.

Year list 115 species
