This Chinook came down the valley so low as to be unseen until in front of Ramsar Hide flushing lots of gulls and wildfowl before heading back north.
This Kingfisher, one of two or three seen in various places, flew in and perched for me, Andy and Terry briefly and badly oscured by twigs; earlier it or another was perched up in front of the restaurant just above two scrapping Little Egrets whilst a Grey Wagtail teetered along the concrete apron.
About ten or more Snipe on view at various places but the recent reed cutting, two big bonfires and the Chinook ensured Scrape hide area was birdless.
A nice male Marsh Harrier (above) was beyond the river and later one or two Siskins were invisible flyovers.
Early on one Peregrine was present until the second bird (above) joined it. On leaving, with still, blue conditions six Buzzards, two kites, a Kestrel and one of Pegs were disputing air space. And finally a vocal Firecrest was point blank, albeit in deep shade and Ivy by the exit gate; a second calling bird lured it across Mill Road
