At last a drake Garganey at Catcott Sunday evening, in the centre ditch.  I counted 12 pairs of Greylag Geese with 50+ goslings between them. a male marsh Harrier and a male Sparrowhawk were the only other raptors noticed in the half hour I spent there. Still a couple of Shoveller , Gadwall and Mallard present and the sitting Swan near the hide is getting very difficult to see!
