Blashford Lakes HWT again

Yesterday My Dad and I went down to Blashford Lakes HWT to try and get 60 species as there wasn't much about. First stop was the Ivy South hide and there we found the usual stuff which were Gadwall, Wigeon, Pochard, Tufted Duck, Cormorants etc.

Then we went over to the Goosander Hide which over looks Ibsley Water, fom here we had Goldeneye, 15+ Goosanders and 2+ ad Yellow Legged Gulls. We then went to the Lapwing hide which was pretty crap so we moved on fairly quickly and whilst walking back to the car we had the Great White Egret fly over our heads.

We left for home at about 4pm and had a total of 59 Species which all in all was a pretty rubbish day so if the sun had been shining who knows what we would have had.
