Glossy still present, with cattle, little & one great egret and male marsh harrier seen from the same spot. A female type marsh was on shapwick moor.

2 chiffchaff, a male GS woodpecker & 4 great egrets at westhay, with at least one brambling still in the chaffinch flock (didn’t ID the majority). Only mute swans, a grey heron & buzzard left in the field opposite entrance.

Water rail crossed the road between burtle & catcott reserve, with a buzzard feeding on long dead roe deer further south. All yesterday
