I was back at the Reserve this afternoon with a couple of other members of the Southern Group Committee for a site visit. A real pleasure given the wonderful sunshine today. At first I thought yesterday's Coot had gone but I spotted it later directly opposite the Hide.There was also a Sparrowhawk high above the reserve with a gull keeping it company most of the time. So here is a brief impromptu list from today:
SC209694 ( from Hide) Coot; 3 x Blue Tit together
SC208694 Wren; Blue Tit; Robin; Great Tit
SC209695 male Chaffinch; Robin; 7-spot Ladybird.

same 7-spot as yesterday, I think |

Coot right opposite the hide shutters |

composite photo - a bit fuzzy but you can just make out the markings to identify it as a female sparrowhawk |
