Thursday 1st September update
The Great Egret and Marsh Harriers were around yesterday. No sign of them yet this morning, but it's definitely worth a look!

Osprey Webcam
The Ospreys have now fledged and are not returning to the nest very often so we will soon be starting our blog as we follow the satellite tagged chicks on their first migration.
As October approaches we will hopefully be switching to our winter webcam showing the Whooper Pond, where some 300 Whooper Swans will spend the winter.
