The new building is nearing completion and I am looking forward to spending time on the new rooftop viewing platfrorm. This was my view from Cheesecake hide at 1030
10 minutes later
Rain, sleet and hailstones! I just closed the window and sat in the hide and waited. When the rain stopped and the sun appeared so did the birds. A pair of Red-legged partridge were close to the hide.
a grey heron landed in the shallows to hunt, near to a great white egret.
At the edge of the reserve a buzzard was eating its prey.
After it had eaten for a while it joined another buzzard in a tree.
Wigeon, teal, mallard, pintail, shoveler, shelduck, tufted duck and gadwall were all busy feeding.
A pair of swallows were hunting for insects over the shallow vegetation at the waters edge.
A pleasant morning despite the showers of rain.
