Plenty to see on the scrapes today and the wardens have been working hard on the windows in Marsh Covert Hide. Great to see the Cattle Egret hanging out on cut grass at the back of the scrape from the Visitor centre. Ruddy Shelduck also on main scrape.

A very warm day and lots of lovely visitors. We had lots of Greylag Geese fly onto the scrape this morning and Pink Footed Geese flying overhead.

A Hobby flew through late this morning and Marsh Harriers made a great appearance in different parts of the Reserve.

The Spoonbills, 12 in total made an appearance again on the main Scrape to everyone's delight.

Gorgeous afternoon on the Reserve with 12 Spoonbills on the Scrape. A Great White Egret also seen and a Cattle Egret on the right handside of the water.

Water Rail seen on the back of the Scrape and our lovely Green Sandpiper in its usual place on the front left of the Visitor Centre.

Six Marsh Harriers were seen over past the barn area.

Other sightings include Pink Footed geese, Hobby, Common Sandpiper and Kingfisher.

Would you like to connect with nature and unleash your creativity? Then join us on Sunday, the 27th of September, for a nature journaling session!

You'll begin with one of our knowledgeable guided walk leaders to find inspiration, take photos, make notes and identify the local flora and fauna across our beautiful reserve. After the walk we'll head to our classroom, where our very talented Visitor Experience Manager Alex, will teach you journaling techniques and help you explore scientific names, folklore, and migratory patterns while creating beautiful artwork with sketching or watercolour—no experience necessary! Each attendee will receive a sketchbook and art supplies, but feel free to bring your own.

Booking is essential and we welcome enthusiastic teenagers as long all under-18s are accompanied by an adult:

A brilliant selection of including, two Cattle Egret who've spent the entire day on the new cut edge of the scrape area.

A very active Sparrowhawk swooping and diving across the main scrape, Kingfisher as usual 😁 and then to top it off a Green Sandpiper with a Wood Sandpiper on the Reception Pool.
