An adult female Hen Harrier put up about 40 Snipe at the Mere this afternoon. Also present was the Pintail and two Tufted Ducks, one pretending to be a Scaup with a big white blaze. A pair of Skylarks were fluttering over the Britton hide, calling frequently but not quite singing in the sunshine.
Earlier at the Gann were 31 Pale-bellied Brent Geese, about 60 visible Snipe in front of Crabhall and two Goldeneye. There was Mediterranean Gull with yellow colour ring amongst the gull roost up the river.
