Was back down Yesterday, Monday, for a last try at an "Insect Day", spent a good few hours in the sunshine chasing dragons, so many about I never actually left the RSPB area to visit the main reserve. Have 450+ images to sort through and will post some to the Flickr group as soon as I can.
One "new" Feature I came across was a new bird feeder between Perry Lane and the Education area, close to the centre ( the area with the large concrete seats and pond dipping platform). The large multi-port seed feeder was attracting a lot of common birds, but the interesting thing is that a lot of traffic was originating from both sides of Perry Lane. Looks like this feeder, If maintained :) ), could be worthwhile watching as the Autumn & Winter progresses.
Best regardsNigel

Great when that happens Colin.
Great to hear that you were so lucky Colin - I heard some by the bridge the other day but they never showed - guess I just didn't linger long enough!
It's funny how sightings vary from year to year - last year I was seeing flocks on a regular and predictable basis in September. So far it's not been happening but then it's always a matter of being in the right part of the reserve at the right time.
