Mallard family
A couple of sightings today had a spring feel, a newly hatched batch of at least 16 Mallard Ducklings on the Mere were late, and a Swallow which was around in the afternoon were both a reminder of a time earlier in the year.
A Polish ringed Mediterranean Gull was showing very well on the island in front of the In Focus most of the day, so close in fact that the silver ring on it's right leg could be read!
Good numbers of Snipe flying around this afternoon with at least 100 birds. Still a few Black-tailed Godwit around and up to 60 Ruff.
Fabulous numbers of Pink-footed Geese around in the afternoon with around 20,000
Late news from Yesterday a Barn Owl was out hunting around 4.30pm
For a better picture of whats around see the previous few days sightings.
