A walk around the North East of the parish gave great views of a new bird. This came in the shape of a family party of 3 mute swans; the male (cob), female (pen) and 1 juvenile that is still showing 1st year plumage. All three are shown here, the cob being the larger with the brighter bill. Also on the lagoon east of Hadham Hall were 24 canada geese, a record high number and 1st for this patch of water. A treecreeper is also shown below, one of two that were observed along the Causeway leading from the Hall.
Several skylarks were in the fields and the usual tits, finches, mallards and moorhens were about on a clear blue and sharp morning. Also depicted, a drake mallard, caught in the morning sunshine, the flotilla of canada geese and a hare that darted across the field near Hadham Hall.
