Little Egrets
Two Little Egrets on the reserve today. Birds have been present pretty much non-stop since March. At least 3 Grey Heron also present today.
Rather windy again so some difficult viewing condition later in the day. Curlew Sandpiper again reported from the United Utilities Hide, 20 summer plumage Dunlin, 5 Ringed Plover and Wheatear from there.
Other waders included 150+ Lapwing, 10+ Redshank, 50+ Avocet, 2 Black-tailed Godwit and at least one Little Ringed Plover.
Many Common Swift over the reserve fields today as well as House Martin and Swallow.
Plenty of warblers in song within the grounds, nature trail and red bed walk.
