    Thanks for the suggestion. This is one of several possible options suggested - Roe Deer, guinea fowl, Coot, owl, goose were amongst the others. Those who suggested the deer species seemed the most confident, but there as a suggestion from several people that the call didn't have enough of a...

    Recorded at Wychall Reservoir at 10am this morning. Suggestions on possible ID very much appreciated. I would guess heron or egret of some sort, but I can't find an exact match on xeno canto. https://soundcloud.com/rob-strong/2020-07-15-wychall-reservoir/

    Red Kite over heading south around 2pm. Common Sandpiper at Merecroft Pool, feeding on the weir and flying off to land on fallen branches in the water when disturbed. Blackcaps all over the place. Between this brief visit, my Lifford walk this morning and the female that was in our garden at...

    Goosander (1M 1F) at Merecroft Pool this morning, Water Rail calling, and the mysterious hybrid duck again. A couple of small flocks of Redwing. Jackrabbit had seen the Water Rail, and a Little Grebe, earlier.

    Your mysterious duck looks *very* much like the mysterious duck I saw at Rowheath back in September: http://www.birdforum.net/showpost.php?p=3619095&postcount=4 Shoveler/Mandarin hybrid? Female? White front and the white stripe behind the eye? Bill looks a bit Shoveler-ish too.

    Plenty of Blackcap and Chiffchaff around this morning. The heron nest on the Merecroft Pool island was empty - does anyone know if it's been used this year? I'm guessing not. Coot chicks on Merecroft Pool, being predated by a solitary Grey Heron. Plenty of other Coots on nests, let's hope some...
