What on earth were they all doing over Xmas/New Year?
Your guess is as good as mine Mike, but I have to say I'm seeing more and more new faces at the reserve.

Yes GWE Des sorry I didn't make that clear.You are obviously referring to the GWE in 2.
It was interesting today that there were a number of visitors to the reserve hoping to see the GWE for 2016 and in some cases for the first time.

Yes GWE Des sorry I didn't make that clear.
Also has the redshank gone as well? I know it can be lost at the Moors within Amy's Marsh.
perhaps they know something we don't. ....cold weather on its way??
