A Damp Squib!

The weekend in Old Moor was something of a damp squib with very little new seen. The Bittern remained at the Reedbeds and was watched going to roost tonight at dusk At least two Water Rails were also there but the Cetti's Warbler has not been reported for several days, although this could be primarily due to the wind. At least twelve Goosanders were around during the afternoon and there were also three Redshanks. Meanwhile, up the road at Broomhill, the Barnacle Goose was grazing Cleggs Meadow, whilst the Little Owl was on its usual fence post.
