Female Bearded Tit at the screen hide
At the ARC from the Screen hide 2 Bearded Tits were joined briefly by a Cetti's Warbler, 2 Ravens flew over as did 8 Black-tailed Godwits and 4 Curlew, 2 Common Snipe were also seen along with the usual Marsh Harriers.
The male Bearded Tit was uncooperative
A walk from Springfield Bridge to Tanners Pool and back saw of note the male Smew, the usual flocks of Lapwing, Golden Plover and Wigeon, a few Curlews 3 Marsh Harriers and 2 Common Buzzards., the male Hen Harrier had moved on by the time I arrived. As the wind was picking up most birds were in hiding.
At Scotney I could only find a single Long-tailed Duck hauled out on the tree island, lots more Golden Plover and Lapwing, with at least 14 Redshanks.
On Walland 40 Bewick Swans with 2 juveniles and the return of the 2 Whooper Swans from Hook wall.
