Very cold again this morning being only just above freezing but the Skylarks were in fine fettle and many of the resident woodland birds were giving it large!
Julie Dent captured this Skylark having a breather along the trail and Chris Lowe's Wren was already collecting nest material.
The female Hen Harrier was seen patrolling the site today and a Short-eared Owl was up on the Silt Lagoons briefly. The local rubbish tip Starlings were doing the full whirly swirly fish-ball thing mid-afternoon with the Peregrine trying its best to pick one off while just outside the cafe window the male Sparrowhawk tried a fake attack on the feeders, landed on the ramp handrail, and then immediately hurtled back into the flock to try and catch then un-awares. He failed but showed very nicely in the top of one of the hawthorns.
