A brief trip to the Wetland Centre - my first visit in over a year - where most of the water was frozen over. Very quiet, with good numbers of wigeon and teal, a couple of greater black-backed gulls, a small flock of redpoll and wrens (Troglodytes troglodytes; click any image for larger) ticking from the denser vegetation. The highlight was some very distant views of two bitterns (Botaurus stellaris), foraging at the edge of the Phragmites.
No decent photographs, and only 10 taken all day - a wren and a bittern record shots at best.
