Yesterday there were 30+ curlew on the south end of the bog...almost heard them wondering why on earth they would return from the coast to snow blasted breeding grounds!
Little Egret and 3+1 Snipe scratching about in the ditch, pair of stonechats holding guard over the sheltered ground behind the wall, odd Redwings, Lapwing and Meadow pipits, Teal, Mallard and a pair of overflying Goosander entertained us until a fine male Hen Harrier put in a hunting display in the sunshine.
Previously a Sparrowhawk had been scouting the hedgerows.
This morning Monday the Great White Egret was on the flash.
