Bearded Tits
The Bearded Tits or Bearded Reedlings as they are now to be called are still present with several sightings reported today near the UU Hide, patience is needed and most people are getting flight views only but many good perched photographs coming through now, so given a little time and luck good perched views can be had. Best area to look for them is to take the reedbed walk just to the left of the United Utilities Hide, follow the track up on to the raised banking, walk about 20-30 yards and wait, listen for the distinctive 'pinging' calls.
Also on the reed bed walk at least 3 singing Cetti's Warblers, also 2-3 Water Rail occasionally calling the distinctive 'squeal' call.
Peregrine again using the reserve to hunt, also 3 Marsh Harrier, Kestrel, Sparrowhawk and a few Buzzard.
Female Goldeneye still on the Mere.
