The rest of my morning was taken up with domestic stuff.

Starting the construction of the new Makepiece Hide
A wander around the reserve this afternoon was predictably quiet, though good to see the Makepiece construction underway. A peregrine and 2 Ravens at Christmas Dell were best I could find there, Dengemarsh was disappointing seeing no Water Pipits and little else.
Peregrine at Christmas Dell
From the track to Hanson a Water Rail was skulking in the reeds
2 of the 4 Great White Egrets from Hanson late afternoon
There was no sign of any Great Northern divers or Long-tailed Duck today. The Bewick Swans were in the usual field at Midley.
