Red Kite
Bird of the day today was the first record of Red Kite for the year - a rather distant individual seen from the Ron Barker hide this afternoon.
Also from the Ron Barker hide, the Cuckoo was again seen and heard throughout the day.
Still lots of young birds to be seen, with the following "chick counts" received from the hides today;
Common Tern (3), Ringed Plover (3), Avocet (22), Pochard (5), along with many others which were not counted, Mallard, Moorhen, and Black-headed Gull being the most numerous.
2 Mediterranean Gulls were on the Mere this afternoon.
