Visit 14.8.10

We had a briilaint visit yesterday (14.8.10), with the Reserve manager Michael. We cannot thank him enough, we had a great 3 hours on site.

Highlights were:

  • Hobby seen at very close quarters hawking the dragonflies
  • Juvenile Marsh Harriers seen regularly
  • 12 species of butterflies
  • Other birds: Common & Green Sandpipers, Little Egrets, Buzzard, Kestrel, Grey Heron, Cormorant, Teal, Mallard, Mute Swan, Coot, Moorhen
  • best of all, Michael's knowledge and attention given to us all in explaining all that was going on and planned for the future

thanks, Dave, Janet, Sam, Thomas, Morgan, Dave and Val

  • Thanks for the email, was a pleasure to take you all round.

    I'm pleased we had some great views of Langford's first marsh harrier chicks on the wing. Very impressed with Sam, Thomas and Morgan - wonderful enthusiasm for wildlife and very good I.D skills too!

    See you all again
