Me again.... I hope than many of you will have mamged to film something today for the great Britain in a Day project. For more info check out the BBC home page for the links. I filmed a few bits out on the reserve today including our very busy Kids Birdwatching Club event but can not upload it from work for some reason! Will try soon and get back to you...
Anyway, we had a great walk and managed to see a pair of Peregrines, 3 Bearded Tits at 1m range!, Spotted Redshank, 3 White-fronted Geese, Pintail, 170 Golden Plover, Knot, 70 Black-tailed Godwits and the graceful immature male Marsh Harrier. The gloom did not dampen spirits and the mild weather and lack of coat were much appreciated.
The only disappontment today was missing six Whooper Swans that flew over the reserve early doors. Can not win them all!

It was a brilliant walk, both myself and my Daughter really enjoyed ourselves so thank you Howard. We will definitely be coming back again! :-)
