17th Feb

3 Pintail flew in from North to Lea Farm G.P. again, so nice to see them still in the area. The sheep farmers were installing new fencing at the North and base of the South ,spit to stop the sheep getting anywhere near the footpath, this is because some idiot keeps cutting the barbed wire fence in the far NW corner.
Up to 7 Snipe along the East bank, were additional to the Tern Scrape 6.
Many resident birds in song now, possible Skylark at the back of the landfill. The 2 Bittern showed very well last night too, am fairly sure the dark bird is a male as he seems to be pursuing the paler bird at dusk.
