Decca Pools, Burton Marsh

Decca Pools is a great spot, I always seem to see something there, and you get great views across the estuary. Once again, it didn't let me down. I had a fantastic view of a male Hen Harrier, also 2 Short-eared Owls, my third Merlin of the day and a Stonechat. Also, at least 1000 Pink-footed Geese in the distance, around 100 Wigeon and probably 20 Little Egrets. Burton Mere Wetlands beckoned....


Decca pools and Small Tortoiseshell. The day may have started with a -2'C, but this butterfly wasn't deterred!
