Sightings Friday 24th
With the weather still mild we are awaiting the return of more wintering birds, although Golden Plover and White Fronted Goose numbers are climbing steadily. The tack Piece is currently filling up with water and it is becoming popular with the grazers and Curlew, while the entrance road is still providing excellent views of our Cattle Egrets who can often be spotted feeding around the hooves of the cattle in the New Grounds fields.
