Red Kite
Todays highlight was a Red Kite that flew past the In Focus shop late afternoon, it looked like an immature bird from the previous year so almost certainly the same individual that has been present in the wider area for a year or so. Other raptors today included a Hobby seen from various spots around the reserve, also the usual Common Buzzards, Kestrel and Sparrowhawk seen.
At least 1 Cuckoo was seen and heard near the Harrier Hide also Water Rail heard calling there.
Still good numbers of Black-tailed Godwits around the site and a few Little Ringed Plover still to be seen.
