Had a brief but interesting look from Nettley's hide this morning from about 07.30, the highlights being - 27 white-fronted geese which had roosted on the north brooks overnight and left at 07.40, heading south, a kestrel catching a vole right next to the hide, a hen harrier hunting near the riverbank at 08.15, a jay perfectly mimicing a buzzard's call from nearby trees, and a couple of snipe feeding in the edge of the ditch in front of the hide about 10m away.

The white-fronts reappeared on the south brooks late-morning, and there was also the single pink-footed goose present on the north brooks again (per Russ Tofts). The water rail continues to show well in front of the visitor centre window.
