Wildlife Sightings for 2nd January 2025

Bearded Tits by Headley. Siskin and Redpoll on South Route

Wildlife Sightings for 2nd January 2025

2 Bearded Tit - Headley Hide (main lake NW shore)

6 Siskin - South Route

5 Redpoll - South Route

1 Little Egret - Wader Scrape

61 Lapwing - Main Lake, Reservoir Lagoon

1 Little Grebe - Wader Scrape

45 Wigeon - Marsh and Wader Scrape

The December Water Rail survey found 18 calling birds across the reserve - reedbed, reservoir lagoon, main lake, sheltered lagoon, wildside and scrape.

Bitterns can be found either on the north shore of the reservoir lagoon or any of the main lake shores where there is a reed fringe.

Look for Siskins and Redpolls feeding in birch or alder trees (particularly wildside and sheltered lagoon). The south route feeders are attracting plenty of mixed finch species daily.

Wintering Bearded Tits have recently arrived and can be found in the main reedbed or the main lake reed fringe near the Headley Hide.
