20/09/2026 - 6.30am to 10am with Jon Lowes and Roy Middleton

 The most unusual sighting today was a Water Rail feeding out in the open along the dam wall, Although it occasionally ran in to the reed bed it spent a long period feeding amongst the rocks.

Water Rail
There are still a few migrants about but just one Swallow today, 8 Chiffchaff, a single Blackcap and a Reed Warbler calling from the reedbed near the hide.

A light passage of Meadow Pipits moving south with 34 counted but doubtless more scattered around the site.

Waterfowl were the same a yesterday with the 8 Goosander roosting overnight and departing early morning.
