Latest Sightings - Thursday 27th September - Geese and Dragonflies galore
Plenty of geese on the reserve this morning, great views from the Peter Scott Observatory. At the Avenue Tower there are good numbers of Common Darter and Common Hawker Dragonflies out in the sunshine!
A male Goshawk was causing trouble around the Flood Ground before heading to the north east.
