Latest sightings
We checked the barn owl boxes today and the box near the Ron Barker hide has 4 chicks, the box in the harrier hide has 5 chicks and the box in doehyles has 7 chicks, a great barn owl year. They can be seen lots hunting on the reserve. We ringed the chicks under licence and returned them to the nest box before the parents returned
The great-crested grebes are showing well on the reedbed, the cuckoo chick had possibly been predated which is very sad.
Little-ringed and ringed plovers are showing well infront of the Gordon Taylor hide.
6 med gulls still showing well on the mere, the cattle are on the mere and are loving it.
