Reserve Update Saturday 18th June
There are baby birds everywhere...and some very frazzled looking adults trying to keep them safe and fed! Seen this morning were juvenile Pied Wagtails around Whooper Pond, baby Robins and Carrion Crows down the Avenue and not forgetting the ducklings on Teal and Folly Ponds.
