I spent this morning helping in the visitor centre at RSPB Blacktoft Sands. Lovely to see some sunshine and lots of visitors were taking the chance to visit the reserve. A lot of their comments reminded me of the words in the song "Sunshine on my shoulder" by John Denver.
By mid-morning the car parks were full as visitors enjoyed either walking around the reserve or sitting in the hides looking at the birds. Several visitors came to see the large flock of lapwings on the reserve and they were not dissapointed. The marsh harriers were very active, at one point there were 5 in the sky outside the visitor centre. They kept disturbing the lapwings and as they took to the air you could see dunlin flying with them.
The sunshine seems to have woken up the tree sparrows who were chirping from several bushes. A skein of pink-footed geese flew over the reserve, a reminder that winter is still here.
