Fantastic views of all the wildlife from the hide and reserve today! We had a pied wagtail bobbing along by the windows peering in, stoats roaming the board walks, mute swans feeding in the ditches, at least eight snipe sleeping on the banks, hunting peregrines, goldfinches, lofty herons and both teal and shoveler feeding right outside the hide! A brilliant opportunity to see all the beautiful colours of the ducks and their feeding. Despite the chilly weather it was lovely to see several families romping along the new reed bed loop and enjoying seeing the snipe close up through a scope.
For anyone wishing to learn more about wildfowl and how to identify them a weekend spent at Greylake provides the perfect opportunity!
