A lot of birders have been spending time craning up into the trees in the car-park today, with several sightings of hawfinch the reward, bramblings and siskins have made a good supporting cast.
Our now regular photographer Robin Gilmore has just sent me these awesome pictures of the reserve on Sunday! - thanks Rob. Another photographer, I only know he was called Peter, took this great shot of a sparrowhawk at the recent bird ringing event.
Wow, stunning! Especially the beautiful sparrowhawk.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
