Arriving in the reserve car park this week and you will have been greeted with large numbers of blackbirds, redwings and song thrushes arriving from Scandinavia. Overheard flocks of bramblings, chaffinches and the odd grey wagtail, siskin and redpoll can also be picked out. In the bushes there has been a yellow browed warblers most days. In the evenings the marsh harrier roost is starting to build with 20 birds coming in this week along with 124 litte egrets and a great white egret.
