Hagnaby Lock 5th September 2009

Hagnaby Lock is a small nature reserve in Lincolnshire. There is a hide overlooking a flooded and managed wetland area. Managed by the Environment Agency.

Here's a picture of a heron taken in July at Hagnaby, before I even thought about blogging.

So anyway, about this visit to Hagnaby:

11am to about 1pm. Bright sunny intervals, with fresh S wind

In bushes on approach 6 – 8 goldfinches. Saw these later on thistles from the hide. Also, willow warbler in bushes.

On lagoon, 10-15 coots

3 moorhen, 4 woodpigeon, lost count of stock doves, could be about 20. Jackdaw on dead tree on the spit. Kestrel over lock. Swallows and martins usually about 4 – 6 at any one time.

About 120 mallard, some males in full plumage after moult. About 150 canada geese, 40 greylag, 40 teal.
