I was back at Rutland Water
again today as there was a family event taking place, which my granddaughter
Clia was attending.
Having dropped her off at the
centre I took a slow walk to shoveler hide on lagoon three seeing a female
Lesser Redpoll on the Egleton feeders and three Water Rails in the flooded
meadow on route. From the hide I found a
drake and two red-headed Smew and ten Snipe but there was no sign of yesterday’s
Jack Snipes. I then walked to sandpiper
hide on lagoon four where there were nine Shelduck, two Oystercatchers and a
single Redshank but little else.
Having collected my
granddaughter and having some lunch we spent some time in the centre seeing a
single Shoveler, a Little Egret and two Buzzards but the hoped for Barn Owl
failed to materialise.
I made a brief visit to Eye
Brook Reservoir on the way home but other than twelve Shelduck there was little
else.
