Woolston Eyes Monthly Sightings
2025-03-01
It was spring-like weather on Thursday, with a good number of our less common species noted. Among these were singles of Red Kite, Dunlin, Peregrine, Pintail and Brambling, plus 2 Willow Tits, 5 Oystercatchers and 5 Goldeneyes. While I wasn’t able to make it down to the Reserve today to welcome the first day of spring, Dan Owen was and recorded our first returning Black-necked Grebes - with one on No.4 bed and another two on No.3 bed. There should be plenty more arriving in the coming weeks and here’s hoping for another good breeding season for this scarce and charismatic species. Photo of a drake Mallard Cheers David Bowman
