Pickup hide is the place to be this week. Monday we were treated to a selection of different visitors. A Greenshank and Green Sandpiper were seen along with a Great Spotted and Green Woodpecker. A few of our warblers can still be heard around the reserve such as the Chiffchaff, Willow Warbler and Whitethroat. Pickup was also graced by one of our stunning Kingfishers along with one of my favourites, the Yellow Wagtail. There have been a few more sightings of this bird over the last couple of weeks which is good news for this area.
Today a Kingfisher has been reported from Pickup hide as well as a Greenshank. So all in all not a bad start to the week, especially as the weather has decided to turn on us.
