1 Ruff - main lake

2 Little Egret - over marsh, main lake
2 Snipe - marsh
2 Blackcap - wildside

Good numbers of various duck species gathering on the reserve. Lots of Pochard rafting on the main lake and good numbers of Tufted Duck feeding on pond weeds. Wigeon have started to arrive in larger numbers. Gadwall numbers have fluctuated, presumably as birds move around through the autumn. Hopefully some more migrant duck species passing through soon.
