I've been away so not visited the Reserve for ages. Back home now and good to see a good variety of typical autumn/winter birds coming in. It will be interesting to see how long the Marsh Harrier stays - there were two into December last year I seem to remember. Still not seen a Cetti's yet though! Will be down soon to try again.
