Dunstable Sewage Works

Had a lovely couple of hours at the sewage works on a bleak, damp Sunday morning 14-06-2015. I stayed in the hide for a couple of hours watching the many families of Sedge and Reed Warbler flitting in and out of the reeds on the scrape.

Other birds of note as viewed from the hide on the scrape and visible ponds, Sparrowhawk, Red Kite, Buzzard, Swift, Swallow, House Martin, Goldfinch, Bullfinch, Chaffinch, Reed & Sedge Warbler, Reed Bunting, Blackcap,Wren, Dunnock,Blue, Great & Long Tailed Tit, LB-BG, Black Headed Gull, Heron, Pied & Grey Wagtail, Coot & Moorhen with many offspring, Little & Great Crested Grebe, Mute & Whooper Swan, Gadwall at least 2 broods, Tufted, Mallard with brood of 6, Shelduck, Canada Geese.

Not bad for a dreary wet morning.
