Several Song Thrushes now rival one another in the morning chorus at Chick Hill, while nearby a lonesome Egyptian Goose patrols the slopes.
The ditches near to the Carter’s Flood hide have recently attracted a variety of scarcer wetland birds including Kingfisher, Green Sandpiper, Grey Wagtail and Little Egret, with Stonechats on the nearby reeds. There was also a Barn Owl this morning.
At dusk, Water Rails, Cetti’s Warblers and Bearded Tits could be heard calling from the Pannel reedbeds and the abrupt spluttering of Pheasants from the valley’s dark recesses set off a chorus of Little & Tawny Owls.
