A reasonable amount of mud is now showing and a work party was busy on JWs strimming large areas. Unsurprisingly considering the work party there were no waders visible there but a lone Wood Sandpiper was on the North Pit. There were 70+ Shoveler around, 5 Little Egret and quite a few juv and female Teal. c60 Swallows were feeding over Fishers Mill early evening.
A Bittern was reported on the North Pit earlier today and in the log book one was reported for yesterday flying into the New Reed Pool so it looks like there's one around although it's unusual for one to be seen on the North Pit. I notice that RSPB have tweeted that one of the volunteers saw a Bittern at the North end of JWs today so that must have been after I spoke to them.
All the best
