Below are the results from this mornings WeBS count. Duck and lapwing numbers are still on the up, would be nice to see a few more teal and pintail but with the weather still relatively mild, we may have to wait for a cold snap. Nice to see the 3 whooper swans still present, they were on the reedbed from the second screen when I got there this morning before moving off to the fields north west of the reserve to feed. It would now be nice to see a few more waders on the reserve!

Raptors were also well represented this morning, with hen harrier, sparrowhawk, peregrine, red kite and buzzard.
