Sheila tells me this is the first (only?) Gadwall seen at the reserve for 18 years! This is a male, which unfortunately flew off shortly afterwards.


There were five Moorhen chicks out and about. They look pretty ugly if you ask me – little balls of black fuzz with a bald head and stubby bald winglets.


This Magpie was admiring his reflection in the new pond.


And finally a snail – Arianta arbustorum if my ‘looking things up on the web’ skills are not mistaken!
