Tophill Low Nature Reserve

Tophill Low Nature Reserve
5th May 2012

Excellent trip to Tophill Low, Watton, Near Driffield, well worth the £2.80 per day or £20.00 per year fee and looking forward to a return visit very soon.
See my blog link to their blog, for excellent pictures and information.
As a beginner to Wildlife and Birding, this was a great place to see for the first time a lot of species including the following (not all photographed!!).

Gadwall
Pintails
Avocets
Shoveller
Sedge Warblers
Reed Buntings
Pochard

Also luckily an Osprey came to visit very very briefly opposite the hide we were in, though not a great picture, a good sighting of a stunning bird reasonably locally to home.
