Wood Sandpiper and Little Ringed Plovers spotted again at Pick Up hide at the beginning of the week, with the latter being seen almost on a daily occurrence at both the Pick Up and Lin Dike hides. The female Marsh Harrier has been spotted from Lin Dike today and a Hobby sighted yesterday flying over Cut lane. There are two pairs of Kingfishers which can be viewed from Cut hide as well as Oystercatchers, Shovelers, Tufted Ducks and more.
Other sightings this week include Greenshank and two Avocets over on Hicksons flash yesterday along with a Grasshopper Warbler which was seen, but not heard making its charming insect like whirring reel call down near Lin Dike. Male Goosander from Village Bay, Common Tern over near Allerton Ings and two Jays along the River Bank trail towards Village Bay today.
Also today four Treecreeper fledglings have been seen making their first ventures into the open world over by Pick Up hide. Lots of excitement happening around the trees as two parents try to keep an eye on, and feed four youngsters as they explore the world outside the nest.
