A bit chilly this morning but nice to watch a common Buzzard's display flight at the Grove end. There were 2 Shelduck at the ramp but no sign of the G W Egret over the last 2 week's. Ben had 2 Avocet at the marsh hide Monday and a Cattle egret over. Bittern's still booming near collard's/slag heap. Mark had a ring tail Hen harrier early on and while chatting near marsh hide it flew past. Swallow's, House and Sand Martin's are building in number's and a couple of Sedge warbler's heard. Also seen 1 Bullfinch ( male ), 3 Marsh harrier, 2 Skylark and another Shelduck at marsh hide.
