Mild, cloudy, SW2 - A sunny start to the day but cloud cover quickly developed with the wind picking up from the south. I spent the morning on the reserve where the circular trail produced the usual common wildfowl, egrets and harriers, two Stonechats, a Chiffchaff, two Kestrels, Cetti`s Warbler and several Goldfinches, plus a Water Pipit on hayfield 3 and at least four Caspian Gulls on Burrowes. There was far more to see from Hanson hide on the duck front including four distant Goldeneyes. On the way home a pause at Swamp Crossing on Walland delivered the wild swan flock that has increased to 10 Bewick`s and two Whoopers; although, still very low numbers of the former for this time of year.
