In recent days Spring has really started and Greylake has been very busy. On Friday a full hide was treated to fantastic close views of a bittern flying low from one ditch to another. The first sightings of swallow and Sand martin of the spring, together with bees and butterflies making an appearance means that it really is Spring at last. Another summer visitor a pair of Garganey stayed for a week, mainly out of view of the hide, but these were sometimes viewable from the new screen on the reedbed loop, so patience and a short stroll could really be rewarded with all sorts of wildlife sightings over the next few weeks.
And why not bring the family to Greylake over Easter and have a wriggle through our new living willow grass snake!
