It seems that the reserve was fairly quiet avian wise apart from the 5 Cattle Egrets at still reported as being at Boulderwall Farm, on the ARC 2 Black Terns, 3 Garganey and a Black-necked Grebe all being seen by others today.

Presumed faded or aberrant Meadow Brown in The Moat yesterday.

The Plodland MV continues to be disappointing.
