Nicely organised visit to WWT, first since August, with socially distanced indoor eating as shown above. (Note the wacky new cardboard coffee cups being very efficient at keeping things hot for ages). Being half term it was fully booked so not too quiet and the usual strimming drowned out pretty much everything - new notices around the site enquire as to whether you can hear 'such and such calling' - needless to say, no!!
A Cattle Egret was hunkered down, multiple Kingfishers heard and these two Med Gulls above were part of six or more in all three age classes but none ringed. The usual four raptor species were present but Peregrine and Marsh Harrier were both absent.
Water Rail, multiple Cetti's and Chiffchaffs were heard only.
Nice chat with a lady and grandson from Guildford.
