Despite the cold NW gale it was fairly sheltered in the Willow Trail where a Great White egret leapt out of the reeds in front of me, also in the reeds a Reed Warbler was chuntering away, nearby a couple of Sedge Warblers and Reed Buntings. 2 Swallows were defying the gale and hawking over the willows, but most things sensibly kept in cover.
