There were 13 wader species seen across the reserve, with a flock of 8 Greenshank, 1 Bar-tailed Godwit and 1 Ringed Plover being the highlights. Still a good number of Mediterranean Gulls are being seen on the Main Scrape, where 2 Ruff showed most of the day. #sightings #waders

Burton Mere Wetlands is well known for its wide array of birds, but if you're lucky there's a chance of seeing the odd one or two furry friends when you visit, like enigmatic #WaterVoles or perhaps a stealthy #Stoat . #NationalMammalWeek

Another beautiful day with more Whimbrel, Mediterranean Gull, Grasshopper Warbler, Sand Martin, Swallow, Swift & Water Vole. #wednesdaythought #sightings

13 Whimbrel showing well on the Main Scrape for most of the morning was the highlight of the day. Difficult birds to see well locally, so it was great to be able to catch up with these waders. A Red Kite was also see from Burton Point, the 2nd #sightings in 3 days.

My walk started off quiet for birds but then within the space of a minute I had 2 new birds for the year with a Whitethroat and a Yellow Wagtail. The Yellow Wagtail was particularly exciting as I don't always see one yearly and they are so stunning too!
