European White-fronts
A brief update. Six European White-fronted Geese (2 adult + 4 juv) with Pink-footed Geese from the Ron Barker Hide early afternoon. C.20000 Pink-footed Geese on the reserve by late afternoon.
Possibly more Whooper Swan today although many birds are off the reserve feeding in local fields.
Todays raptors included Peregrine (juv), 3 Marsh Harrier, 4+ Common Buzzard, 2 Sparrowhawk and 2 Kestrel.
Cetti's Warbler calling from the Reed Bed Walk near first platform.
A juvenile Great-crested Grebe on the Mere was an unusal sight briefly this afternoon.
