On the way we spot 4 Red Deer in the channel drinking plus a couple of Water Rail that was nice.
The morning was rain free & warm, we had done our homework weather wise & it proved to be a great decision.
As we look over the reed beds we could hear many Bearded Tits but never saw many despite there being no wind not many were sitting up.
A walk along the shore gets us loads of Linnets & Meadow Pipits,nothing to much on the scrape the highlight being a Spotted Redshank. & down by the sluice a couple of Dartford Warblers are calling & flying about, we are told by a Warden that they had breed here this year, we have never seen them here before, we always get them up on the heath.
A short stay in the South hide looking over Girder Pool for the Ferruginous Duck proves to be in vain as it never came out of the reeds until after we left & came out on bird guides.
So not much about & no year ticks but at least we found the sun.
The Konik ponies came close as we walked back to the car.
P S Forgot we did pick up a year tick when we heard two Yellow-browed Warblers.
