First stop this morning was Kiln Lane Ely where we parked up and walked down the lane a few hundred yards to view the flooded fields.<\/p>\n

The first walk along the footpath failed to locate the Ibis that’s chosen to over winter in Cambridgeshire.<\/p>\n

As I walked back the Jims called to say the target was now in view so I stepped up the pace and quickly got on the bird grabbing a few distant shots.<\/p>\n

From Ely we drove across to Santon Downham where a walk down the river was the order of the day.We were searching for Lesser-spotted Woodpeckers and spent the next three hours listening and looking.<\/p>\n

A group of corvids grabbed my attention and rewarded me with nice views of a young Goshawk as it flew across the river to escape the attentions of the pack. Three Sparrowhawks and a few Buzzards were seen.<\/p>\n

Green and Great-spotted Woodpecker called and a single drumming of Lesser-spot was heard but we failed to see or hear anything else in the long session.<\/p>\n

Siskins, Brambling, Nuthatch, Treecreeper were the other birds seen before we left for home.<\/p>\n
