Today's sightings
Kingfisher Hide
Bittern-showing again this morning in the reeds and bulrushes near to the hide. The bird was c 10ft beyond the post and rail fence on the right hand side (West) of the channel. It seems to favour this area to hunt fish patiently, often motionless or very slow movements as it creeps in and out of the vegetation.
