Fri 30th Oct 20

Lots of agitated Blackbirds and Redwings along the approach road this morning but we were unable to find a reason, hoping for a roosting Owl but no luck, otherwise very quiet just one Chiffchaff near the 5 bar gate and a few Tits and Goldfinch was about it. DC/MR.

Pete Davis had a brief view of a Ring-tail Hen Harrier on his way to the hide at around 10:40.

From the hide:

200+ Greylag, 1 Canada Goose (+ 6 can/greylag hybrids), couple of Teal (a gas gun on the arable is keeping the ducks away), 1 Shoveler, c20 Lapwing, Blk. H Gulls, Herring Gulls, 3 Common Gulls, 1 Water Rail & 1 Kingfisher (heard only). PRD/JH/DC/MR.
