Happy New Year and our first sightings board of 2024

Happy New Year!

A lovely busy day at the reserve with plenty of wintery wildlife to spot.

Here's our first sightings board of 2024 featuring Marsh Harriers, Redpoll, Firecrest and a lovely set of thrushes - Redwing, Fieldfare, Song Thrush & Mistle Thrush all showing well on the zig zags this morning.

A nice selection of wading birds out on the brooks with the winter 'regulars' Lapwing, Black-tailed Godwit, Dunlin and Ruff joined by Golden Plover and Greenshank.
