Well today started with another sighting of our friendly hare running along the path in front of reception.
Then down on marshland, we had a spotted redshank (in full summer plumage), those black-tailed godwits, the noisy avocets (and chicks), sedge and reed warblers along those reeds.
This afternoon, action switched to views of bittern flying over the reeds - these were viewed from reception but were probably best seen from singleton hide. On three occasions a bittern was seen flying today.
Then this evening I almost got run over by that hare as he darted out of the willows heading towards the car park. Also, I saw my first water rail of the year out on the mud on the left hand side of marshland.
Throughout the day warblers were active beside the trails from whitethroats to sedge warbers and those marsh harriers were entertaining us with those superb aerial food passes.
Also watch out for tree sparrows - they are a bit dangerous as the fly in and out of the toilet block feeding those young.
