What a wet day! The rain hasn't stopped all day, though that has not put off a lot of the birds. There are plenty of gadwall on the flood, along with large numbers of tufted ducks and some cute little shelduck chicks. Talking about chicks, our goslings are now huge and have formed a huge group on the reserve. There are a couple of redshank around the reserve and plenty of lapwings. We were lucky enough to have a peregrine flying low over the reserve and an osprey later in the day. The loch is pretty quiet with only a few ducks on it and some mute swans around St Serfs. On St Serfs the gull chicks are growing fast and are now becoming rather adventurous when walking around the nest.
