Wintersett Res: 17.45 - 19.00 hrs Kingfisher 1. 3 male Cetti's Warblers were heard - Boathouse Reeds, NBank and WBank. A Tawny Owl was calling from the Willow Wood. The day had an exciting end when 2 Bitterns were picked up from the dam wall, flying left in front of the boathouse 18.30hrs. They continued to the end of the boathouse reeds before turning back and flying back to the boathouse, along the north bank, down the east bank and across to the south west corner One dropped into the willows on the west bank and one dropped into the west bank marsh at 18.40hrs. The birds seemed to be looking for somewhere to roost and were probably new in to the area.
