hi dean-didn't arrive until 4pm,must have followed you round,i tried to take some swift pictures,from the position in horrocks hidelooking,towards the south bankas there were thousands of em at 6.30, but failed misseribly,got one out of about 50.the 2 male wigeon were still at the front of the screen,can't seem to see any nesting great crested grebe.seems strange to me as loads used to nest at the flash.
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.
