Recent notable sightings include more ospreys on passage, a kingfisher on Tindale Tarn and good numbers of pink feet geese passing above. A first for the reserve was on Tues 13th September when two gannets were spotted, with a sub-adult bird resting for a moment with the mute swans on the tarn. The birds were blown inland during the stormy weather. A marsh harrier was seen hunting on the hill side last Friday (9th).
