An hour in the Bittern hide produced very little, Water Rail calling but not seen and a G S Woodpecker visited the feeder in front of the hide. Bitterns have been reported recently but are not showing as they usually do in front of the hide.

| The Bittern Hide |
The walk to the Grand Weir Hide gave good views of Goldcrest, a Buzzard sitting in a tree by the barn and a few Redwings in the bushes along the path.
300 + Jackdaw around the farm and a small group of Egyptian Geese in the field.
Also seen were Wigeon, Shoveler, Tufted Duck and Gadwall along with all the usual suspects. Bird of the day was a Peregrine Falcon sat high up on pilon 5.
Back home in time to make the good lady breakfast but still good to get out for a while.
Contemplating a Twitch tomorrow but I'll see how I feel later before deciding if it's a goer or not.
