Another wander around the area today found nothing new, though the sight and sound of 320+ Russian White-fronts flying around was a joy to behold. The usual Marsh Harriers and at least 6 Great White Egrets were seen, along with a party of 6 Bearded Tits. The brighter weather encouraged several Chiffchaffs out, Cetti's Warblers were calling all around and Water Rails were squealing from the reed beds. The Black-throated Diver is still on the New Diggings with at least 7 Goldeneye for company. The islands on Burrowes have largely been submerged, those that are left are smothered in Cormorants, I dare say the expected rain in the next few days will engulf the rest of the islands.
Elsewhere the Long-tailed Duck is still at Scotney per CT. The Iceland Gull is still frequenting The Patch per DW.
