Another beautiful day on the reserve the mere is alive with lots of ducks swans and geese and clouds of lapwing. a lovely female kingfisher was posing infront of the Kingfisher hide yesterday and again this morning catching lots of small fish. There are 2 water pipits amongst the cows but difficult to see as they are at the back of the reserve but hopefully they'll make their way towards the hides.
Still lots of birds of prey around the reserve with 11 Marsh Harriers, 4 Buzzards, 2 Kestrels, 1 sparrowhawk and 1 peregrine seen so far this morning.
The Janet Kear feeders are very busy we have put up some logs filled with a mix of lard, dripping and porridge oats which is really popular with the blue tits and great-spotted woodpeckers. The sunflower hearts are really popular with the Goldfinches, Greenfinches and Willow tit (he likes the right feeders the best)
