After a few minutes we were able to enter the reserve and stroll across the bridge to the main hide, where we quickly located the long-staying Ring-necked Duck. As usual, he was dozing with his distinctive bill tucked under his wing, but the bright triangle in front of his wing made this welcome year-tick very easy to pick out. We enjoyed watching and photographing the wild Swans, before taking a walk around to look for the White Stork and Great White Egret which have been recently present: no sign...
After lunch we drove a few miles to enjoy views of the largest flock of Corn Buntings I've ever seen: well over a hundred birds, with a few Yellowhammers and Fieldfares for good measure. A great day out!
