Hi John,
I was there from about 1.45- 5.30 must've missed you. It was a bit of a wash out from Horrocks. Did see Little Ringed sitting on nest from Teal hide hopefully these will be ok. A few Whitethroats showing really well(still no leser for me) a cracking Reed Warbler and a Male Pochard with the Tufties from New hide. Took some pics from Horrocks not loaded them up yet if they're any good may send some to Ian.
