This week it was back to our favoutire haunt, the London Wetland Centre again, as they had a reptiles weekend. We headed straight for a cooked breakfast and then into the Observatory for a meet the reptiles event. As adorable as the tiny crocodile was, a Snipe was right up to the window which was distracting us and even worse was when I spotted a dark shape amongst the reeds - a first Bittern spot for me. I was very proud of myself! The usual birds were around and Stuart got some lovely shots of another Bittern later in the day which I shall put up when he gets around to uploading them to his computer. A bird was seen darting from one set of reeds to another, a Cetti's Warbler? Unfortunately I'm not strong enough in my identification of Warblers to count it, but I rather think it may have been!
