Squacco heron  by Chris BainesThe squacco heron has not been seen yet today.  Yesterday afternoon it was moving South along the washes and was moved on further away fcrom the hide by a marsh harrier.  Out on the reserve there are plenty of house martins and swallows about with cuckoos calling from the reedbeds and snipe drumming, with one individual sitting on a post giving great views of itself despite the weather. 

The photo shown is of the squacco heron at Welney yesterday and has been kindly sent in by Chris Baines.
