Late afternoon on Walland 2 male Marsh Harriers roosted in my allotted reed bed and several more flew over. Interestingly 3 Great White Egrets roosted in Hawthorns there, while 2 Little egrets appeared to roost on one of the reservoirs. 2 Barn Owls hunting the area was notable, 4 Common Buzzards over, a Cetti's Warbler singing and squealing Water Rails but most birds were keeping low in the strong wind.
