This morning at the mere there were 6 Little Egrets feeding in the centre of the mere, water levels are now quite low enabling them to feed easily, this is the largest number I have ever seen at the mere. Also seen:- 1 female Tufted Duck with 4 young 3 adult Great Crested Grebes with 2 well grown young 7 adult & 3 juv Common Terns 1 adult & 1 1cy Common Gull 1 Kingfisher 1 Barn Owl by the sluice 1 Hobby
If the levels continue to drop there will soon be mud showing and hopefully we will get some waders dropping in.
