Great Crested Grebe have bred late on the reserve.

The first brood of Great Crested Grebe that I have seen on the reserve this year.

Water levels on the Reserve continue to drop.

Little egrets and ringed plover seen at Witches Oak Water during warm weather.

Water levels on the reserve continue to drop.

I recorded my first Emperor Dragonfly for the reserve.

As to be expected at this time of year the Reserve was very quiet.

Sedge warblers seem to have become quieter with only 3 heard.

On a bright and sunny morning with very little wind and a starting temperature of 18 rising to 27 degrees by the end of my visit.

Initially overcast but warm with a light NE wind, but brightening up with tummy intervals as the day wore on.
