British Steel Hide
There have been good numbers of redshank and greenshank on the saline lagoon and Dafen scrapes this week and a spotted redshank has been amongst them too. Five spoonbills are still showing nicely everyday. A merlin has been spotted in various places on various days so we are always on the look out. Out on the estuary there have been Brent geese and oystercatchers.
Millennium Wetlands
Its been nice to catch a fox on camera this week to better understand their behaviour on the reserve at night. A pintail has been seen consistently on the western scarpes along with some Greylags, shoveler and a redshank making up an unlikely crew! A sparrow hawk and a red kite were both seen in the millennium wetlands earlier this week. A little grebe has been on deep water lake a lot too.
