    Flashes pm c300 lapwing on and off, frequently lifted. Mostly because the heron on the far meadow (pic) kept relocating a few yards at a time. Lots of mallard, and the teal were looking spectacular. (We were told that the whooper swan was still at the Moors.) Happy New Year, Margaret and Phil

    Flashes pm Seven snipe found - probably more as the camouflage was particularly effective in that light. Two were almost in the same spot as yesterday on the left-hand island with the plastic on it. The five others were hunkered down at the far end of the peninsula and was a case of now you...

    Flashes pm. Buzzard post-hopping left to right from sewage works gate spent a lot of time emulating a cormorant, presumably drying its plumage. Seen an hour later on telegraph post by first flash doing the same. Suspect it had been hunting prey in the marshy areas.
