New Record Count!
We keep smashing the record count of Black-tailed Godwit (featured image). This morning 2800 have flown onto the reserve. A truly spectacular sight, particularly in flight.
More heavy rain overnight and high water levels across the site but they are dropping back already.
Passerines haven't featured much of late so it's nice to report a Spotted Flycatcher from the Canoe Safari and Treecreeper there too.
A minimum of 4 Green Sandpiper present. The Hale Hide is a good place to get excellent views of this species (below - picture by Charlie Lowe)
At least 15+ Ruff, 500+ Lapwing, 4 Curlew.
An influx of Teal with small numbers flying in yesterday, more Shoveler obvious too.
A large female Peregrine was causing a commotion across the site. Marsh Harrier, 2 Buzzard, 2 Kestrel and Sparrowhawk. Barn Owl hunting in the morning.
Kingfisher(s) being seen at Miller's Bridge. Stoat there too.
