Another visit to Burton Mere Wetlands RSPB yesterday was not much different to two days previously. The first-winter drake Ruddy Shelduck was still at Marsh Covert and the Cattle Egret was having a break from its cattle escort duties on an island on the Reception Pool. Conditions were warm & the sun was out resulting in many Common Darters, a Migrant Hawker (male) and what looked like a Southern Hawker wizzing around the top path, but it was just too fast to get decent views. Birds of note included thousands of Pink-footed Geese wheeling about, a Ruff and a Reeve, brief views of a Great White Egret taking off, Coal Tit, Nuthatch, Great Spotted Woodpecker.
