Just a quick update for this week, with the exciting news of a tree sparrow seen using our feeding station by the viewing screen on the public footpath (thanks to Beach Hut volunteer Dave Roberts for this)! This is the first time the species has been seen using the feeding station for nearly 2 years. With numerous individuals at the wild bird seed crop opposite the car park and a potential colony now also on Phase 1, we have our fingers crossed that maybe we will have them back breeding on site again next year....
A bittern has been seen on Phase 2 again this week, it is such a privilege to see these on a regular basis. Do keep an eye open on Phase 1 as well.
There is a large flock of fieldfare and redwing about, particularly on the western boundary of the Cromwell Trail, but also on the eastern public footpath and Phase 1 scrub.
Water rail continue to be vocal across the site.
And finally, a Langford scarcity from yesterday - a coal tit on the Cottage Lane entrance track to the car park. They may be common in gardens, but not here!
