Bird News
A few waders passing through today, with a Whimbrel, Dunlin, 2 Ringed Plover, 2 Little Ringed Plover, 9 Black-tailed Godwits and a Common Sandpiper joining the uasual Avocets, Oystercatchers, and Redshanks on the Mere. A Little Egret was showing extremely well in front of the Raines hide early in the day.
No news from elsewhere on the reserve today, but there is currently lots of activity to be seen from any of the hides, with the breeding season for our resident birds well under way. Mallard chicks are already numerous, and many of the Spring arrivals are busy establishing territories.
