A wander around the reserve this morning in the company of RW was pleasant in the sunshine but little of note was seen, though a Bittern was booming by the ramp.
I had just got home when I received an excited call from RW who was watching a White-tailed Eagle over
the Water Tower, I quickly ran outside grabbed my scope from the car and managed to spot the Eagle near the Sound Mirrors, probably about 2 mile range so the view was not brilliant. That is now the second WTE I have seen from my garden.😀

Another walk around the hay fields this afternoon saw 4 Marsh Harriers, with the interlopers being quickly chased off by the resident pair, also there were 2 Bitterns booming. 4 Corn Buntings were in the rough field with many Reed Buntings and a few Linnets. There were 8 Ruff on the floods but no sign of the Garganey among the Teal. A Great White Egret flew over.
