After Monday's Bittern excitement today was a little flat although the Marsh Harriers put on a nice display as did a very smart  male Kestrel eating prey; a dozen Avocet were originally on the Frying Pan before being flushed off to south scrape. A single Raven, yet again east to west across the reserve carrying something in its beak  - not sure what its collecting!!

The Teal looked very smart in the bright, clear light and this Dunlin was in amongst about 70 Turnstones. A distant single Stonechat was the only notable passerine
