    Reasonably successful morning today. Lesser Whitethroat, Med Gull and Grasshopper Warbler. Also first Swifts of the year. Also got to see B-T Godwit and a pair of Linnets that had previously eluded me. Still plenty of Reed & Sedge Warblers singing.

    Steve, Thanks for that. I do question the fact that it's on the blog. I never look at the blogs for reserves on the web. I always look on the main page. A visitor from afar would probably never find it! Thereagain, the latest sightings page hasn't been updated since June 2015! Rob

    I managed to get good views of the Great White Egret yesterday at RSPB. It flew over the river but later returned.
