The marsh is a reliable feast of both at the moment. Make the most of it before the winter migrants leave and the raptors disperse as their 'ready meals' are harder to come by.

Today, 159 Whoopers and 7 Bewick's Swans  were seen. 

Raptors include Marsh Harrier, Sparrowhawk, Merlin, 3 Peregrines, at least 2 ringtail Hen Harriers (possibly 3)   2 Kestrel and 5 Buzzards.  Also seen were 2 Short-eared Owls, 2 Barn Owls, a Little Owl and 3 Grey Partridge.

Oh, and a brown hare and fox.
