Yesterday, it became quite obvious that the numbers of Wigeon had increased somewhat and when they were all spooked by a passing Grey Heron I was able to count 620 on the flash in front of the Shooting Butts Hide. I suspect that we have in the region of 800 on site at the moment which is a good sign. it was fun to watch them all grazing in unison along the grassy shore of the pool like little avian sheep!
