Old Moor update

Evening visit to Old Moor, the most noticeable change since my last visit (almost a week ago) being an increase in waders. Best of all, 3 Ruff on Wader Scrape but also 5 Ringed Plover, 2 LRP, 2 Dunlin, whilst the Turnstone was on The Mere. A Hobby was hawking over the Reedbeds just as I arrived and both Med' Gulls (adult and 2nd C-Y) remain in situ. At least two Marsh Harrier sightings today, one of which was a/the 'cream crown' and the other too distant to say. A Bittern was again seen at the Reedbeds.
