Breeding plumage Ruff
Now is a very good time to come and look at Ruff coming into breeding plumage. There are at least 40 birds present with one or two males now approaching full breeding plumage and many following on. Likewise with the Black-tailed Godwit. The godwit are generally considered to be all icelandic birds and are particularly smart in their breeding plumage too.
Marsh Harrier seen again today, a female type. No shortage of Common Buzzard, also Sparrowhawk and Kestrel seen.
Grey Wagtail again around the edge of the Mere. Great-spotted Woodpeckers daily from the Janet Kear Hide.
