Dengemarsh at Sun set
An evening visit to the reserve when the wind had dropped out completely was very pleasant, with Sedge and Reed Warblers singing all round, a Bittern booming and Water Rails squealing, several Yellow Wagtails flitting around and Corn and Reed Buntings jangling and wheezing, Redshank doing what Redshanks do best, alarming all around the hay fields as I made my way to Burrowes. Where c100 Oystercatchers were roosting on the islands and 4 Hobby's were hawking along the back edge of the lake and over the Open Pits.
