Lewis' Saturday Blog 5th May

We now have a large crèche of greylag goslings, all feeding with their parents. On the wetland there are plenty of teal, mallard, a surprisingly large number of tufted duck and shelducks everywhere. A single osprey has been seen from the visitor today, though there was also one at burleigh sands this morning. The gulls on st serfs are starting to lay eggs and it won't be long now until the chicks hatch. Our nest boxes near the visitor centre have some eggs in them and hopefully there will be chicks next week. There are plenty of butterflies including orange tips and small whites. That's all for this week, not long now until the bird fair- I'm really looking forward to it.
