Titchfield Haven NNR

Saturday 31st March 2007

The London Camera Exchange were having an event at Titchfield Haven and as we are thinking of buying a scope we decided to pop along. It was nice to be able to try out half a dozen scopes in different price ranges. The sales people were very helpful and although we didn't buy one this time, we now feel we know a little bit more about them.



After lunch we had a good walk around the reserve and saw lots of different birds, some peacock, comma and brimstone butterflies and a roe deer.
The highlight was the Guide in a Hide, a very nice man who let us use his scope and pointed out the differences between black-headed and mediterranean gulls.


spot the avocet!

Another nice surprise was seeing a few Avocets, a bird I thought I would have to go to Devon to see.
