Several chores to do preparing the boat for our first outing of the year this weekend meant that I didn't arrive at Brandon Marsh until mid morning.

| One of four Little Egret on River Pool |
First a walk through New Hare Covert, which produced a
Marsh Tit, thankfully calling and a
Bank Vole,which I was watching scurrying too and forth before all hell broke loose! Several
Great Tits,
Chaffinch and heroic
Robin were seeing off a marauding
Jay and as if this wasn't enough racket two
Mistle Thrush then appeared on the scene chasing a
Magpie. Great fun to watch, but not if your being predated of course!!

| Spotted Flycatcher - Horsetail Glade |
Other highlights included a wonderful sight of four
Little Egrets feeding on River Pool, a
Hobby too while enjoying this. Followed by my first UK
Spotted Flycatcher of the year in Horsetail Glade, best viewed from the 'Tip' area looking in.
