Tuesday Feb 7th
21mm of rain overnight, so the reserve is looking wetter than usual today. Green-winged Teal showing on Folly Pond early, but alas still no sign of American Wigeon. Plenty of bird song kicking up recently and Mute Swans are becoming territorial down on The Flood Ground
Todays high tide is at 09:51, 8.0m
