4 have been out on Rimmer's Marsh today but they didn't have the stage to themselves. Oystercatchers are plotting nesting sites on Rainford's Island while on the reserve as a whole there are still thousands of Pink-feet coming and going with a couple of Barnacle Geese seen with them.
Large numbers of Black-tailed Godwits, Wigeon and Golden Plover are still around too. Wonderful flights of Lapwing with occasional display behaviour in evidence and pairs of Gadwall bobbing indicate Spring round the corner.
In the coming week high tides should add to the excitement.
