3 Feb - A fine sunny morning, and no sign of the female Ring-necked Duck reported at pit 57, but a Bittern (1) showing well perched out in the reeds, shown to me by Kim Milsom. A Great Spotted Woodpecker drumming and a Skylark singing were foretastes of spring. Good numbers of Teal (2,3) and a few Shoveler (4) were seen from the hide at Shorncote, together with a couple of pairs of Reed Buntings and a calling Water Rail.
