Huddle of 3 Marsh Frogs at the ARC this morning
As the water levels are so high at the ARC there was little to see there avian wise. Many Marsh Frogs were leaping about as I wandered around the Willow trail. 2 Hobbys were hawking over the Tower pits, also a Couple of Common buzzards and a Marsh harrier were thermalling. Reed and Sedge Warblers seem rather subdued.
Hobby at Dengemarsh
Dengemarsh this afternoon saw another 2 Hobbys, a Greenshank was calling unseen by me, as were the Bearded Tits, I didn't spend too much time there due to the cold wind.
