Highlights included. 1 Little Stint 3 Spotted Redshank 1 Scaup 2 Peregrine 1 Hen Harrier 3+ Marsh Harrier 1 Barn Owl 22 Whooper Swan Still loads of Wigeon about, as well as Brent obviously. Teal numbers seem to be dropping off a bit, but easily still 2000+ Golden Plover on the reserve. A good scan through them revealed that a couple of them were already in near full breeding plumage. Seemed to be a few more Black-tailed Godwit about today and everybody that I bumped into were really admiring the Pintails. The Skylarks were shooting up and singing like crazy this morning as well, which was a real joy to see and hear. |

Thanks to Daniel for putting me on to one of the Marsh Harriers!  Also saw 2 of the Spotted Redshank, the Scaup and some of the Whooper Swans. In addition, a Merlin was seen over the Reedbed, and a Grey Heron on the Reedbed scrape. A few Black-headed Gulls were already in their chocolate-brown breeding hoods. Plenty of Tree Sparrow, Goldfinch and Greenfinch on the feeders. My Year List is now at 66 species. |
