Afternoon all!

How are you?

It's been so mild at the moment! It really does feel like spring!
There was a watervole out showing well over the weekend! They are meant to be underground at this time of year!

There's been 46 lapwing over at the Tern hide, as well as 3 snipe, 1 green sandpiper, grey and pied wagtail and lots of duck! There was 123 teal at the Tern hide alone! Blimey!

 

We've had some reportings of scaup at the Draper hide, but it's a female tufted duck that has white around her beak. They are very similar birds, but the one we've seen was a female tufted duck.
