It was a bit chilly and blustery but we did get a touch of sunshine here and there.
Whilst in "Reedy Hide" we kept hearing a tap-tap-tap on the back of the hide so I of course had to try and see what was making the noise. I crept slowly and quietly out of the hide and was delighted to see a parent Treecreeper with two newly fledged youngsters :) They soon flew off when they saw me but I managed to catch up with one a few minutes later and rattled off a few shots.
We had good views of Marsh Harrier on and off and also heard a Cuckoo calling in the distance a few times. Also seen were Turtle Dove, an all too brief flash of Kingfisher that paid a quick visit to Ness Lake and a brief glimpse of a Bittern.

All in all a nice jolly round the patch :)
