The Bittern flew from the direction of the main reedbed at 900am to the overgrown square pond near the car park, maybe some photos from Lyndon later...
Whilst watching the Bittern a high flying calling Whimbrel flew over flying south. c35 Swallows came out from roosting in the reeds at Kingfisher Pond, where a Lesser Whitethroat was also present.
10 Goosanders and a Kingfisher on the river from the viewpoint this morning.

The 1st returning Turnstone appeared in the estuary yesterday evening along with 20 Ringed Plover, though up to 3 Turnstone have been on Cardigan Island all week.
