This morning the bird we must adduce was still lets say, present, a male Bittern was in fine voice booming while another two Bitterns were seen in flight. Only 3 Turtle Doves noted but, the Grove end wasn't covered, also 3 Cuckoo's and 7 Marsh Harriers. Chiddy and I had cracking views of the Beaver as it swan down the dyke adjacent to the Lampen Wall while two Little Egrets flew over south with another on the main pool. Strangely only 1 Hobby was seen as well as 2 Kingfishers, 1 Kestrel, 1 Barn Owl and 20 odd Swifts. Just 2 Swallows and 4 Sand Martins noted plus Tawny Owl and Greenshank were heard. Nice to catch up with Richard Collins this morning as well.
