Millennium Wetlands
A beautiful barn owl was on the northern loop this week. An otter has been seen from the Peter Scott hide, along with a kingfisher on one of the perches outside the hide. There a two great crested grebe chicks and three little grebe chicks on deep water lake at the moment. An influx of migratory chiffchaffs have been heard calling from the tops of trees. Very impressive emperor moth and rusty tussock caterpillars have been recorded on site too.
Saline and Freshwater Lagoon
The wood sandpiper is still showing nicely on the dafen scrapes. High tides this week bought in good numbers of curlew, black-tailed godwit, redshank and greenshank to the scrapes.
