No Bitterns, harriers nor Cattle Egrets today, Wednesday at WWT.
Two Firecrests, a colour ringed Black-headed Gull (orange 207E) and the first hoverfly of the year, an Eristalis tenax were the best for the day and the Snipe were back in their corner adjacent to Ramsar Hide.
Above some 'feeder tits', a Blackbird and a Kingfisher distant and through the glass of the restaurant - a second bird was perched up on a wooden fence just outside the reserve when I left.
A good number of Greylags flushed into the reserve but again still didn't seem to contain the single White-front seen recently.
Nice to catch up briefly with SH and later an extended chat about 'all things eagle' with MJ.
EDIT The gull was ringed by TC at Farlington on one of the raised platforms at The Deeps on 2/06/23 and this was the first sighting.
