Hamadryad – Ad GC Grebe with fully grown juv, Coot sitting, Grey Heron being mobbed by LBBGs, Reed Warbler singing.
CBWR – Whitethroat singing by Yacht Club, several Reed W seen, 22 GC Grebes and a fem Tufted Duck with at least 6 ducklings in the lagoon. No sign of Red-cr Pochard reported on the Twitter feed.
CBWR is getting more and more overgrown. The small lake on the LH side is now a fraction of its former size and by next year or the year after will be completely invaded by Reed, if left. Also the ditch on the RH side that used to be good for Dragonflies & Damselflies is now completely overgrown with reed and other vegetation. Not sure if this is due to cuts or whether suitable habitat management is planned.

Hi John. The Red-crested Pochard was present at lunchtime (13:00) viewable distantly from behind St David’s Hotel, associating with a group of Tufties (outside the reserve). The view was directly into the sun but it looked to be a female or juvenile bird.
