Daily sightings
Another lovely day out on the Ouse Washes today, 
there was a definite feeling of spring in the air with great crested grebes, coots and goldeneyes all displaying away. There's a lot of Bewick's and whoopers loafing about on the reserve during the day too, getting ready to head off, so if you want to come and see them best come soon!!!
