One of many patches of Broome on the shingle
A long walk this morning out to and around the Open Pits where the Broome was dazzlingly spectacular. Avian wise a few Reed, Sedge and Cetti's Warblers were singing, Reed Buntings were plentiful, the highlight for me was a singing Willow Warbler that must have been new arrival. The noisy young Cormorants are growing fast with constantly being fed regurgitated fish. Hairy Dragonfly and Four-spotted Chasers were in good numbers there as were the Marsh Frogs. On the reserve the usual Marsh Harriers, Bearded Tits, Bitterns and Hobby's, also a Cattle Egret was seen on Tanners Pool. Burrowes held a couple of Curlew and very little else. A report that the Ring-necked Duck had reappeared on the ARC, on making my way to Hanson Hide the first bird I saw there was the Ring-necked Duck which was still present at 20.00 this evening.
