Sunday 8th June a.m.
A sunny start with a temperature of 10°C but quite windy which kept some of the birds low in the Reeds. It didn't bother the Swifts which were plentiful all across the site, good to see four Avocets on Astley Lake. A Cuckoo was calling in this area and a couple of Bitterns were booming Cetti's Warblers were their usual vocal selves. Common Terns were nesting and Gt Crested Grebes already had chicks, others were Gadwall, Shoveler, Pochard, Tufted, Little Egret, Lapwing & Reed Bunting.
