A Great White Egret walked right past Saline Lagoon Hide!!!!! A metre from the window, it was EPIC. The Kingfisher was zipping around Wader Lake, Goldcrests are inundating the hedgerows across the site (seen at least 5 across the site but there’s definitely more) and there’s plenty of ladybirds and shieldbugs hiding amongst the vegetation.
