A nippy couple of hours on the reserve this afternoon yielded:-
Scrapes/ Reedbed
Barn Owl Snipe Ruff Redshank
Grassland/ Saltmarsh
Merlin Kestrel Pink-Footed Geese Whooper Swan Grey Plover
Hedgerow
Goldcrest Long-tailed Tit Swallow!!! (x1)
Numbers of Wigeon, Lapwing, Golden Plover, Curlew and Dark-bellied Brent are really picking up now. It's a not only a great visual spectacle but a real feast for the ears too!
One last thing. If you are planning to visit and have a walk along the sea-bank, make sure you have some good footwear. It is very muddy and slippery at the moment.
