Everybody is enjoying the sunshine!
This morning's sunshine has put everyone in a good mood after a week of rain! Highlights from today have included several Kingfisher sightings from the Back Pond hide and an extremely noisy morning as a Merlin, Marsh Harrier and two Peregrines flew over the reserve disrupting the geese eating their breakfasts. The Barnacle Goose count was up to around 7000 yesterday afternoon.
