A Water rail showing opening on the Lagoon islands, alongside little egret, common snipe and a Kingfisher zipping around somewhere in the background. Lots of great passerine action around the site, with numerous Tree creepers and Goldcrests seen and the Cetti’s warbler continuing to call around the Filter Reedbed and the south end of Wader Lake.
