User's notes

I had three sightings over a couple of hours at different locations at the wetlands, but only of one bird each time. However I believe there are three birds present, but they seem to forage happily on their own now. They seem to have settled in, and have been seen regularly at the wetlands for several weeks now. This is quite unusual.

Christine, I'm also sure there are three. There were two visible from the Cygnus hide on Monday morning and later seen together from the Ardea Hide- way over near the Snipe Hide and heading up behind the reeds there. While only 10 minutes or so later I saw another from the Bittern Hide.
