A small group braved galeforce winds to see close views of wildfowl on the reserve today. We had to suppress the Golden Eagles but we did have fun identifying all the ducks; they were the ones sitting on the water. The observations included Great Crested Grebe, Mallard, Shelduck, Wigeon, Gadwall, Teal, Pintail, Shoveler, Goldeneye, Pochard and Tufted Duck. In amongst the duck were 1,000 Lapwings, 50 Black-tailed Godwits and a few Curlew. It was a very enjoyable morning, we had a good laugh and several hot teas.
