A Bittern flew across the scrape into a Bullrush red bed at 10.25hrs (K. Bannister/JP/John Finch). Out first since April 2021.
Also present 2 Little Grebe, 2 Kingfisher and 2 single Swifts flew south (CG).
This evening the Bittern flew into the reed bed nearest Elaine's seat overlooking the scrape. It climbed up the reed bed stems at 20.15hrs.
Also of note Water Rail called, a Hobby came in after the House Martins feeding over the scrape and a Tawny Owl called at dusk (Dave Standish).
The Northern Meadow is covered in Devil's Bit Scabious at the moment.
