Wild Winter Saturday
The drake Goldeneye is still present but no sign yet of the female. The drake has occasionally disappeared from the South Lake, but we've refound him on the Big Pen next to the Visitor Centre, so keep an eye open as your cross the boardwalk.

Zeiss Hide
Out on the Dumbles were 170+ Barnacle Geese along with 6 Cranes, whilst in the reedbed in front of the hide a Water Rail and Cetti’s Warbler were seen. A flock of 112 White-fronted Geese were seen just after midday but they have been very flighty today moving around several fields. A pair of Peregrine on the gateposts put in front.
