A (the?, see Sunday) Spoonbill dropped into Marloes Mere at 0930 this morning and stayed for about 20 minutes before flying off in the Dale direction. I saw it first from the North Hide (I was due to lead an NT walk at 1000) and it settled halfway down to the barbed wire gate before flying west, settling briefly at the other end and then flying off.
Water rail called briefly from the rushes near the Britton Hide.
