More water at North Duffield Carrs.

 5 days since my last visit and the water level has increased. The water is now above the windows on the Garganey hide and the lapwings are standing in water.

There was a shoot taking place on the other side of the river and the noise of gunfire caused the birds to fly to the other side of the reserve, near the submerged hide.

3 whooper swans flew downriver.

One had a distinctive neck.

Only 25 birds on my list today, 15 less than my last visit.
