The 5 Whooper swans on the ARC in front of Hanson Hide seemed very restless, perhaps preparing to leave.
A slog around the peninsula found a couple of Jack Snipe and few Common Snipe, 10 Redwing along with the usual Herons/Egrets and 5 Whooper Swans on the ARC. Lots of common wildfowl on the lakes at the moment but nothing unusual. The Bewick Swans are still in-situ on Walland Marsh.
Cattle Egrets at Cockles Bridge
There were still at least 3 Short-eared Owls on the ranges this afternoon but as usual distant
Golden Plover over the Ranges
White-fronted Goose on Boulderwall Fields
Possibly another Ermine Stoat at Springfield Bridge
