Spring maybe!
Lovely sunny start to the day and hints of spring in the air. Chiffchaff were singing at various points around the reserve and a Mistle thrush, Robin and Chaffinch joining in as well.
At the end of last week it seemed like winter was beginning not finishing. Flocks of Canada and Greylag geese and a small huddle of Lapwing were more reminiscent of two months ago!

A Redshank put in an appearance this morning again raising hopes that a pair will breed here once more!
Two Lapwing are now incubating eggs from the Lapwing Hide, while others restart their display flights over the grassland.

A Water vole gave close views at the edge of wetlands discovery this morning.
