Whillet’s Reed Bed (15:00 to 16:30):- 2 Water Rail & 1 Moorhen heard, 59 Reed Buntings came in to roost over the period. The Starlings carried out some nice murmuration flights a little after 4pm. There could have been nearly 3000 at one point; but the flock broke up and I estimated that about 2000 came in to roost in various sized flocks.
Also 4 Fallow Deer were out feeding in the meadows.
