The Bearded Tit are still present today. Seen first thing from the Concrete Hide but I had one extreme right of the West Hide at 11.30. The trick is to look at the bull rush heads in seed.

In other news, the Linnet flock at the Moors is up to at least 100 with c50 Chaffinch. I've had a single Brambling with them 3 times but not this morning. 2 Stonechat and 2 Chiffchaff also present from west hide. Also 8 Curlew at the Moors. Flashes very quiet per Andy Pitt - 7 Snipe and usual Lapwing flock c 150

Adult Kittiwake on Sailing Pool to at least 3 pm this afternoon plus Ruddy Shelduck with Canada flock. Flashes quite quiet - pair of Goosander & 8 Curlews in to roost along with 800+ BHGs - unfortunately no Kittiwakes amongst them.
