Saw two pipits near the screens this afternoon, not sure if they were both water pipits, but they looked the same to me. Didn't quite manage to get them both in the same photo. Mostly got the bird to the right hand side, apart from the third photo with part of the second bird half way up the left edge of the photo.

Pleased to make your acquaintance Cathy M! ;o)
Was the Water Rail there again, or did I imagine it when I first looked thru the bins?

Pleased to meet you :) The water rail was in the band of reeds to the right but only occasionally in view. The couple I was talking to were the ones who spotted the short-eared owl mid October.
Ahh!
According to Mat, there are three SEO at least on the reserve.
If you go up to the powerstation end, there is a green woodpecker working the area where they have cut the grass. He was there Sunday as well.
