Heard on Somerset sound this morning that the hides at RSPB Greylake are open again as most of the wasps have left, or been drowned. I know I will be gad to get out ther again.
Hello, I spent a couple of hours this afternoon at Greylake in glorious sunshine.
Lovely to see the hides open and there has been a lot of work recently clearing back the reeds and pollarding willows, so many thanks to all involved.
Highlights were:
2 Peregrines sitting in the dead tree over to the right hand side
1 buzzard sitting on a post
1 Marsh Harrier passing through and putting up a small flock of Wigeon in front of the hide
Kingfisher
Large flock of Lapwing in flight
Large flock of Starlings.
A large flock of Dunlin ( I think) ..... In the far off distance.
3 Roe Deer
And sadly a dead stoat.
Robin
Also no sign of the cranes at Stathe this afternoon.
