Nothing new on the patch today, Thursday, but at least 2 Bitterns still at the mere, 1 flew from north to west reeds and then 1 flew from south to north reeds.
Also 2 Chiffchaffs, 1 singing in west bay and 1 in hedge by farm.

With Chris Grimshaw.

Afraid not, don't know who saw them, apparently they were flying east at 10:55.

I was in the hide at the mere at the time.
