Frampton Marsh August 2011
A firm favorite relatively near to my parents is Frampton Marsh. A great open place for seeing lots of birds. Interestingly enough, I think it must be fairly recently built (if built is the right word), as Google Maps just shows it as fields and doesn't show the ponds very well. Presumably that's because the images on Google are about 3 years out of date. My expectation is that the images will update at some point and then we'll be able to see the true location of these pictures against the ponds. After all that, this was a very blowy day and there wasn't that much about. I'm not sure that August is really the best time to go birding in any country, including England. That said, this is when we were here and here's what we saw:
- Barn Swallow
- Canada Goose
- Common Kestrel
- Eurasian Coot
- Grey Heron
- Greylag Goose
- Lapwing
- Mallard
- Mute Swan
- Pied Wagtail
- Shelduck
- Snipe
- Song Thrush
