CWP update







10/11 Mar - Sunny early spring weather, with Lapwings displaying (2) at Shorncote, Shelduck moving through with birds at Kent End at Shorncote, and Wigeon (3), Shoveler and Teal in evidence. Little Egrets (6) at Shorncote and pit 74, where the new screen at twitcher's gate (1) allows close views across the lake, close birds here included a Great crested Grebe (4) and photogenic Coots (5). Cetti's Warblers singing at 3 sites. 5 Snipe in flight at Shorncote. I couldn't find a Mediterranean Gull in the roost on pit 74 or pit 16, though one was seen on Fri 9th.
