1500-1600 today, a wet and gloomy hour in the hide, but a good one for divers on Noah's, with tufties, pochard and singles of goldeneye (male), redhead goosander and a possible scaup or scaup/tuftie hybrid for others to look out for and confirm or otherwise, please. Also kingfisher, bittern landing in reeds to right of hide, a female marsh harrier, a few pintail, and other usual ducks.
PS The wood chip now laid on the hurdles on the path down is working fine.
