Miserable day At Greylake today, but still plenty to see.
Peregrine, Redshank, Snipe, Marsh Harrier, Kingfisher and the usual Winter Ducks.
Highlight though was a couple of Water Rail that swam across the water just in front of the hide and temporarily posed on the near bank!

Spent a great 3 hours at Greylake this morning.
Duck numbers are increasing, as are Snipe. Dead reeds have been cut down in front of hides so great visibility again!
