Water levels remain high on the reserve but access is now possible to all areas without wellies. There is a bumper crop of berries throughout the reserve hedgerows, and this has attracted noisey flocks of Redwing, although other passerines were in short supply. Migrant hawker dragonflies are still on the wing in small numbers, with even one pair still in cop.
