The week before the snow hit we spent the afternoon at the reserve. It was a gorgeous spring day and we saw plenty including a Mandarin duck on the river as we drove in.
There were the usual Coots, Moorhens, Mute Swans, Mallards, Herons, Canada Geese and Cormorants. We also saw Teal, Tufted ducks, Pochard, Great Crested Grebe, Gadwall and my favourite spot of the day a pair of Snipe by the Kingsfisher hide.
Unfortunately I couldn't get a good shot of the Snipe.
There were frogs everywhere in the ponds a few large groups (not sure of the right term) of frogspawn too.
My daughter spotted a couple of Red Kites circling overhead with a flock of Black Headed Gulls
Final shot from the managers garden.
