Preparation.....
A blustery cool morning saw me preparing a few ringing rides in the Willow/Reed area of the upper marsh, in preparation for the warbler season.
The Phragmities has not started to grow more than a few centimetres so I will have to clear the rides again as the reed grows, I only need a width of a metre just to set the net and walk along without dragging the net when extracting birds.
When the reeds start to grow it will be easier to clear and be more defined,
there's a Wiltshire "dog-leg" at the front

The flock of Common Shelduck remains at around 22 individuals plus there are at least, what appears to be, three pairs, hopefully they may get their act together and nest?
A bit over exposed! but you get the idea |
