At the ARC 2 pairs of Avocets appear to be nesting on the small amount of islands that are now showing, hopefully no heavy rain will come in the next few weeks. There still seems to be several Hobbys present and at least 3 Cuckoos, a Bittern is still booming regularly in front of the screen hide leading me to think it is unpaired. A Norfolk Hawker was along the the track to Hanson.
2 Cal year Great Black-backed Gull J99AM ringed as nestling in southern Norway last June.
The Hobbys around the reserve have been very entertaining and showy
Good to see the Norfolk Hawkers around the reserve
