fridays roosters

Bittern - Keith Pickering. Photographed from the Bittern Hide, where else?
One Bittern showed at the Reedbeds this afternoon and three eventually came in to roost. Additionally a (presumably the) 'cream crown' Marsh Harrier roosted on Reedbed 5. Other birds at Old Moor today included Little Egret, 17+ Goosander, Barn Owl and 2 Brambling at the feeders, one of which is pictured below.
Brambling - Keith Pickering
22 Waxwings were seen today at Overdale Road, Wombwell and at least 13 remained at Springwood Road, Hoyland, roosting tonight.
