Bird News
A Green Sandpiper seen from the Ron Barker hide today was the only "new" bird reported today.
However very large numbers of birds, particularly wildfowl are present on the reserve. Many of these are showing exceptionally well down to a couple of metres from the Discovery hide, including Ruff (80+ present on site), Black-tailed Godwits and Goldeneye.
Raptors seen today include at least 3 Marsh Harriers, Peregrine and Barn Owl.
When visiting Martin Mere, be sure to ask at the In Focus shop for the most up to date bird news and guidance on the best places to look for any particular species you may want to see.
