Good to see you today Phil - we weren't lucky enough to see the bittern, but thanks for showing us your video footage of it taking off. Good views of a kestrel, sparrowhawk and peregrine. Also at least 12 reed buntings dropped into the reeds in front of the first hide as the light faded - a lovely sight. A water rail flew in too. Plenty of curlew, 3 oystercatchers and a strange hybrid goose with the Canadas. Keep up the great photography.
