Brandon marsh; a visit here this afternoon, fairly quiet, but some interesting sights. Several Goldfinch were feeding in Alder and a single Siskin. In Horsetail ride a Great-spotted Woodpecker and Nuthatch was heard. Then a Willow Tit called, which eventually was spotted high up in the tree tops with Blue Tits.
On the East marsh there were plenty of Shoveler, some Gadwall, Teal and Mallard. Two Great-crested Grebes were asleep on the water. On the far bank Canada Geese were feeding and immediately behind them a Muntjac Deer was feeding. There were plenty of Cormorant and 2 Grey Heron around the pool and 22 Lapwing on the island.
Along the main path to the hides a party of Long-tailed Tits were accompanied by a Treecreeper and Nuthatch. In Albans marsh Cetti's Warbler and Water Rail were heard calling. 19 Stock Doves were sitting in their usual dead trees.
On the far side a Jay was calling and later a Song Thrush was singing. A Little Egret flew in as the sun set.
