British Steel Hide
If you are looking for some good news... the spoonbills are back now the ice has thawed! A beautiful grey wagtail with a bright yellow stripe seems to have made friends with our Bewick's swan. There has been a big roost of about 800 herring gulls on the saline lagoon in the evenings and there have been more redshank too. A sparrow hawk has been seen very regularly - and luckily not by our bird feeders!
Millennium Wetlands
Foxes have been seen a few times this week in varying places, leaving us wondering how many territories there really are on the reserve! Many water rails have been heard or seen near the welsh water hide and in the reed bed channels because it is such perfect habitat for them. Both a garganey and pochard have been spotted on deep water lake. There have been a few cute bunny rabbits around too!
