Over the last few days, the glossy ibis has been showing really well from the Gillman Hide and the cafe. We saw it this morning on an island in one of the pools near the Gillman Hide. Here is a picture taken by Nigel Wedge on Wednesday. (See moreof Nigel's photos at https://www.flickr.com/photos/sarniebill/)
Hello Rob K
Thank you for your comment. Pink-footed geese are arriving in good numbers now and there are reports from Orkney that whooper swans are also on their way. October is generally a good month to see wintering birds arrive and move through.
My first trip to the reserve today, and was thrilled to see the large numbers of pink-footed geese coming in. When is the best month to see the most wintering birds?
