Not often I manage to get down Wyver at weekends but I thought i'd pop down for a few hours today. Literally 100's of Housemartins and a some Swallows feeding around the reserve plus a single Swift. I was thinking that with all the Hirundine activity I might get a Hobby but had to settle for a Buzzard, Sparrowhawk and Kestrel.
Lots of Mallards plus two Shoveler, Tufted Duck and a few Teal. 3 Grey Herons, 3 Cormorants with one catching many fish in front of the hide including a Perch. 200+ Lapwings. A small flock of Long-tailed Tits around the hide plus a Willow/Chiff. A possible Meadow Pipit over and 2 Stock Doves.
