Numbers of waterfowl were much reduced, although 7 Greenshanks were present, along with c.170 Teal and 15 Wigeon, at least 16 Redshanks and 5 Snipe in one marshy area. Not far away, a Jack Snipe silently took flight from right under our feet, in typical Jack Snipe-style.
Quite a few woodland resident birds were displaying/in full song, on this early spring-like day, included a very fine adult male Goshawk who was displaying over his territory during the afternoon.
