I'm have recently been sent a lot of images that have been taken of birds here at The Lodge this month, so I thought I'd add a selection here to share with you.
On the reserve, most of the migrants are here now, with cuckoo, whitethroat and garden warbler the most recent arrivals- and two common terns flying over at the weekend added to the list!
Enjoy a tour of the wildlife of The Lodge below and thanks to all of the photographers for sending their images.
