Metrological Spring....still looking like Winter...
What it does mean is that its the day to update things like the tide times and wildlife sightings boards in the information shelter; with that job done a quick look around the reserve turned up a few birds who clearly have spring very much in mind.
Skylarks singing in the rain, Robins, Dunnocks all singing away.
There is quite a decent mixed flock of finches feeding on the Sea Buckthorn berries, they are actually after the hard seed inside the orange flesh.

| Greenfinches |
A good mix of Greenfinch, Chaffinch and Brambling, along with Blue Tits and Goldcrest these were looking for insects and spiders.

Brambling (heavily cropped photo sorry)
There are still Teal around they favour the deeper creeks to rest in when the marsh is not flooded, I couldn't get a count today but saw a few.
