Bird News
Although the forecast was for showers they didn't materialise so any predictions for a Red-necked Phalarope will have to wait for Friday/Saturday!
Two Raven were present around midday viewed from the Ron Barker Hide, the first for a few months. Two Little Gull and 2 Common Tern out on Woodend Marsh again. Redshank with 3 chicks also there.
Other wader species present include Lapwing, Avocet, Oystercatcher, Ringed Plover, Little Ringed Plover and Black-tailed Godwit. The Green Sandpiper was seen from the Hale Hide and close by on the Mere.
Again many House Martin and Swift today and a few Swallow.
The only raptors reported were 6 Common Buzzard and 2 Kestrel.
