Yesterday, I was joined by volunteers Joan and Mike, who assisted me in the installation of a feeding station for small birds.
It's on the right-hand side as you pass between the first and second fields, on your way to the viewing platform. It should prove popular with the local tree sparrow population and provide good views of these special birds.
If there is anybody who lives locally, who might be interested in keeping these topped up over the winter, then please e-mail me on paul.bennett@rspb.org.uk. It would be a great help.
Of interest on site yesterday, was a single pink-footed goose. Presumably, it got seperated from its flock in the fog that we've been experiening over the last few days.
Also a willow tit, calling just off the reserve near Eight-arches Bridge.
