According to local sources we don't entertain too many of these beautifully marked ducks throughout the year. So imagine our delight when a pair of them were seen familiarising themselves with our northern shores. Will they remain? Only time will tell but they are worth the effort of travelling here to take a look.

Elsewhere on site we heard our first cuckoo of the year - truly a marvellous sensory experience!

See you on the reserves,

Best regards,

Chris Edwards
