Hello again!
The good news from today is that we have news of bearded tits. Karen told me that there has been some bearded tit activity in reedbed one today but not conclusive enough to say if we have juvenile beardies as yet. Watch this space!
She also told me that we have 2 med gull chicks. These are best seen from the Family Hide.
Bittern activity continues and everything is still progressing as we expect. Bittern flights can pretty much be seen from anywhere on the reserve providing that you are looking in the right place at the right time!
Moths... Karen kindly put the trap on last night and as I knew rain was forecast, I arrived at Old Moor earlier than it said the rain would arrive. Guess what? It was raining when I arrived at 7:15am... hey ho. I quickly took lots of photos to ID in a bit, but here are the highlights.
A lovely peach blossom moth.
A vibrantly pink elephant hawk moth.
A cheery yellow brimstone moth.
And a fab ghost moth.
Sightings today come via Lauren as I was on bittern watch duty.
