Beardies ?
Three birds seen briefly in flight from the Ron Barker hide today by an experienced observer were almost certainly Bearded Tits. ("99.9 % certain"). Although not the first records for the reserve, they are exceptionally rare here and would be a new bird for the Martin Mere lists of all but a fortunate few.
A Kingfisher showed well on several occasions throughout the day, also from the Ron Barker hide, as did a juvenile Marsh Harrier, several hundred Lapwings, and several thousand (10,000 ++) Pink-footed Geese.
