Ufton Fields & Marsh Lane

Still struggling with gout we had a flying visit to Ufton Fields before heading off to the main event of Marsh Lane.

My 1st visit to Ufton, and to be fair it was fairly uneventful, athough i did get my 1st House Martin. Still, a pretty place and worthy of further reconnaissance.




Nice little Blackbird


Onwards to Marsh Lane, and still hampered by the extremely painful gout, only a fraction of the usual tour was attempted, still managing to get my 1st Reed Warbler though, even if he was a tad camera shy -
