Fri 24th Sept

A cool and sunny day. Just as I try to raise water levels on the RSPB reserve the rain stops and the sun comes out. I had thought some geese may have arrived over night, but no sign of any today, although 300 Pinkfeet were seen high over Port Charlotte yesterday (BD). Other birds today included at least 3 different Sparrowhawks and a flock of 65 Twite all at Gruinart.
