A distant shot of some of the grey herons nesting at Fairburn. I was involved with a heron Experience walk on Friday and Saturday. 29 people from different parts of the country joined the walks to get a closer view of the grey herons and cormorants nesting on the reserve.
Great white egret and cattle egret were also seen by the visitors and today we had 6 birds of prey.
A pair of displaying buzzards were attacked by a sparrowhawk, then we saw several red kites circling over the reserve. A kestrel flew past several times and then a female marsh harrier and finally a peregrine.
Luckily we managed to avoid the rain.
