No joy with that either of course but there are a few Spring arrivals now. First up, a Willow Warbler singing outside the main hide....
With an equally obliging Chiffchaff nearby (Chiffs aren't averse to Willow either!)...
The water is at a ridiculously high level for the time of year and if this is maintained then I think we can all look upwards rather than down for waders as they fly over??. The scree island is in danger of collapsing too as erosion takes it toll. Nevertheless, I counted three Little Ringed Plover on the reserve (although only one was visible from a hide!)
And finally, the bird which I eventually caught up with at the end of the day... a pristine male Yellow Wagtail....
More Warblers in soon no doubt.....
