Kingfisher exploits!
Again Kingfishers seem to be zooming all around the reserve today. On one occasion two kingfishers met at high speed with lots of whistling, briefly clashed in mid flight and then went their separate ways. Territorial dispute over fishing rights or precursor to breeding territory, only time will tell!
The cold snap last night produced an increase to around 15 Snipe from the Scrape hide, several more from the Lapwing hide and 100 Teal around the reserve.
Two Black swans again first thing and probably had roosting Bewicks again last night judging by the amount of water ice free from the Sand martin hide.
