Home, Hen Reed Bed, Cove Bottom.

Overcast day but at 14 degrees it does seem  warmer.

Home:    Again the COMMON WHITETHROAT was showing off and chucking for the first time in the Buddleia bush. Also GREAT TIT and HOUSE SPARROW showing well with definitely more of these about. The regular male BLACKBIRD called in but no sign of a female for weeks. Harry the HERRING GULL is a dad again, after the noise yesterday a young bird could be seen between the chimney pots.
Hen Reed Bed:    Called in for 30 minuets with views of HOBBY which flew through and a KINGFISHER which sat very uncomfortably on reeds fishing. Viewable REED BUNTING and 2 REEDLING as well as a pair of LAPWING protecting young. A SHELLDUCK flew in a disappeared down a bunny hole. Obvious use here, but will struggle to get them to water. LITTLE EGERET and COMMON BUZZARD as well as a male MARSH HARRIER. SAMD MARTIN flying low and SEDGE WARBLER as well.
Cove Bottom: Three CANADA GEESE flew over and two LITTLE OWLS calling as was a COMMON PHEASANT. A male MARSH HARRIER flew in with a bunny and disappeared into reed bed. There was also a female MARSH sitting tight in reeds and a fly over GREY HERON.
