Aerial displays
41 lapwing have been showing well on the back islands, easily viewed from the Ramsar and Sand martin hides and often supplying us with beautiful aerial displays. The oyster catcher seems to come and go with this flock and you can hear him shouting from the group.
The last 2 days have seen the kites hovering over the far end of the hanger and along the river, you can see upto 4 of these at a time.
Around the reserve, I have seen all of the following birds today; Nuthatch, Dunnock, Goldfinch, Chaffinch, Bullfinch, Coal tit, Blue tit, Great tit, Longtailed tit, Wren, Blackbird, Woodpigeon, Robin, Pheasant, Reed bunting, Jack daw, Crow, Magpies, Red kite, Grey heron, Pochard, Teal, Tufted duck, Gadwall, Common shelduck, Cormorant, Greylag, Eygptian and Canadian geese,
