3 Buzzards were in the air enjoying the sunshine. Kingfisher has been really scarce here during the previous two months, but today a male was singing its head off and chasing around the scrape. Also present Little Egret, 2 Cormorant and 14 Canada Geese, staking out nesting territories. There are still around 20 Teal and a similar number of Gadwall. A Great Spotted Woodpecker was re-trapped in the same ride as it was ringed two years ago, on 7th December 2017. Ringed as a juvenile, it is now a male in breeding plumage.
