LCyD Afternoon

Three Little Egrets put on a great show in front of the hide with plenty of fishing action.  Three Kingfishers also busy on the reserve with two of the adults chasing off a juvenile.  Chiffchaff in the reeds in front of the hide.  A couple of Snipe out in the open along with a few Common Sandpiper and Grey Wagtail.  Also present were Cormorants, Teal, Mallard, Canada Geese, Coot, Moorhen, Pied Wagtail, Log Tailed Tit, and Lapwing.
