You can wait for hours and not see anything

Wildlife watching can be fun, be it bird or animal, sometimes you can wait for hours and see nothing, sometimes you are lucky and see things you did not expect.

When I lived in Lowestoft we would quite often get rare birds fly in from the sea, once I saw a Woodchat Shrike and a Rose coloured starling in 2 minutes only about 800 metres apart and this was only  after I overheard a man in shop say,  ” there are a lot of Twitchers down at the Bird’s Eye factory looking at a pink bird “.

I have heard stories of a Puffin on the river Ouse in Cambridgeshire, and a pod of Porpoises that swim up the river Nene as far as Wisbech on a regular basis ( I have seen the photographs ), more a surprise perhaps would be in the 1800’s when Whittlesea mere in Cambridgeshire was drained  the skull of a wolf and skeleton of a killer whale were found.

So As I always say it is worth keeping you eyes and ears open as you never know what will turn up.
