    My week on the broads

    in Non-Fishing Chat

    Posted

    I have just returned from my annual week on the broads, and what an unusual week it was.

     

    We are 99% positive we saw a seal on the waveney.

     

    A deer swimming accross the river bure.

     

    A dog swimming in the middle of the river with the BIGGEST goose in the world in its mouth and at How Hill the biggest flock of birds i have ever seen in my life, now us not being bird people and it was dusk we don't know what they were (gratefull if anyone can tell me) but there were THOUSANDS of them the sight and sound when they all took off from the reeds and twisted and turned in the sky was amazing.

     

    Ive got a couple of shamefully bad pictures of thisthat i will post when i remember how to do it.

     

    If you have ever had the privilage of seeing this you will understand.

     

    Oh and we had 17 pike from 2lb (well done ian :P ) to 16lb 8oz.

     

    P.S. I also think i managed to not upset CB thisyear.

    Very interesting programme indeed, especially the underwater shots of pike, that is something i have hardly ever seen.

     

    Some of the information given has completely flumoxed (i love that word) me.

     

    I always thought a bit of colour in the water was a good thing and in my experience usually is, but this programme says otherwise.

    Not far from the river Yare. :)

    When you say the wingspan was 1meter, were the wing tips narrow or rounded? That will help Identify the bird

    I think they were sort of rounded :confused: but also pointy :confused: :confused: rounded tips with pointy feathers :confused:

     

    I have been going back to the spot for the last few days, camera in hand but nothing :( .

     

    I really hope i can get a pic because this has started to bug me.

     

    Thanx for all the replys people.

     

    P.S... ferrett, can you post a bigger pic next time :D

    Dave, that picture looks very much like it but the white on the wings was clearly visible.

    Is the white visible from above the bird?

    Only saw the bottom, but the white feathers were on the fingery(?) feathers and not before the as on the pic you posted.

     

    Just spoke to a friend and he too suggested a Kite.

    Four days ago i saw a fantastic sight, I was biking home from work when about 300 yards in front of me up in the canopy of a large tree i saw a big bunch of white feathers erupt from the top, then a pidgeon fly towards the open field being tailed by the most impressive bird i have ever seen it swooped on the pidgeon, caught it and landed in the field where the potatoes blocked my view, i watched for a few minutes then saw the bird fly off into the distance :)

     

    Then tonight, i saw it again but a bit closer this time, It had wing span of about 1 metre, it was brown with a lighter colour head and had about four white feathers on the wing tips with brown feathers separating them.

     

    Ive looked on the RSPB website and an Eagle is the only thing that resembles it.

     

    http://www.rspb.org.uk/birds/guide/w/white...eagle/index.asp

     

    But this cannot be possible because even i know that Eagles are only found in scotland :D If anyone has any ideas as to what else it could be i would be very grateful.

     

    I am going to be taking my camera with me from now on so i can get a photo next time.

    Ah! friends who work at boat yards are worth having

     

    quote:

    also even with a cruiser you are still limited for pike fishing,
    Not at all, whenever you moor just chuck the dead baits out, just make sure you get a dinghy with the cruiser, drop mudweights in the middle of a broad and float around spinning for a few hours....Heaven :)

    the best thing would be a small dinghy a electric outboard and a local for knowing where to go

    As previously suggested a boat is a must on the broads.

     

    Rikster is also right when mentioning hirecraft, they can be a pain in the arse to an angler, but then as a regular cruiser user myself maybe i shouldn't complain :P .

     

    Why not hire a cruiser, its like camping but you can move from place to place, and come late in the season, say the end of september or the begining of october, this is when i go and its surprising how many holiday makers ignore the broads when it gets a bit nippy :D cheaper too
