Last night's singing Whitethroat was belting it out from the railway embankment bordering West Pool during a quick visit this morning. Six Common Sandpipers were present and a Kingfisher was seen carrying food, which is an encouraging sight. Finally, a drake Tufted Duck was also seen.
A return visit in the afternoon yielded a dozen Common Sandpipers plus a fly-over Kestrel and Raven. A Little Egret was also seen.
NB: Late news for Sat 29 Apr - the warden heard a wader calling this morning, though he did not see it he thought it was either a Redshank or Greenshank. At 8.30pm an Oystercatcher flew down the reservoir.
