    pair of hobbies out feeding over new reedbed pool. dunlin, ringed plover, little stint, greenshank and redshank present on new reedbed pool. 3 buzzards soaring above farmers fields close to bridge and canal. apparently a booming bittern was heard on the reserve today, unsure as to how true that is.
