The two great white egrets are still on the reserve so now is a good time to come to site and see all 3 egret species. The great white egret can be seen in the wet grassland and rushes to the back of the mere.
There is now a good visible diversity of duck species on the mere with many of the drakes out of eclipse plumage and numbers our less common ducks, such as pochard and tufted duck, have also increased and now a good number of small groups can be seen. A good number of swans are present all day on the mere so it is a good opportunity at the moment to come and see them.
With shorter evenings and variable weather now is also good time to see barn owl on the reserve where it can be seen hunting over our grassland with the best views from Ron Barker and Kingfisher hide.
