Several visitors have been delighted to see our family of 5 otters playing at both public and lower hides today.

2 bitterns were seen at public hide and one was glimpsed at Lilian's hide.

The smew (red-headed) put in an appearance at the back of the pool at Griesdale hide in the afternoon.

The glossy ibis is still feeding on the fields opposite Barrow Scout Field in the day. It then tends to roost with the little egrets and great white egret at Island Mere.

The great white egret was also seen at Griesdale hide today.

There were thousands of lapwing at the Eric Morecambe and Allen hides, along with a spotted redshank  and a greenshank.

The female marsh harrier is still showing well at public hide.

A kingfisher was briefly spotted at lower hide.
