I mentioned in the last blog that I was going to take children bird watching for the first time in eighteen months at Wick Court. There was a hint of apprehension as we topped up feeders and prepared binoculars before meeting the young birders! It was another scorcher of a day and I wasn’t that optimistic about seeing many birds. And yes it was a slow start with a few fleeting glimpses of the usual suspects. When we were ensconced in the hide by the river we had an unexpected treat a Marsh Harrier flew over us – a first for Wick Court! The young people  were amused by over excited childlike reaction!!! The picture below isn’t mine!
