Latest Sightings - 6th February
A dull morning again today.
Nice surprise to see a Tawny Owl in the owl box overlooking the Whooper Pond this morning.
The drake Greater Scaup is still on the Whooper Pond, but it would appear that the drake Green-winged Teal has gone for a change of scenery and is on the Flood Ground today. Having checked the Folly Pond, there doesn't seem to be a second bird, so it is likely just our regular one.
Today's high tide is at 10:36 8.4m
