Rutland Water - 4/7/11

Not much to report today although a juvenile Osprey fishing in South Arm III was notable as it attracted a huge number of gulls intent on driving it away. A couple of Redshanks and an Oystercatcher were feeding along the North Arm shore and at least 4 Little Egrets were spotted in other locations. A possible Spoonbill was seen distantly from the Barnsdale car park along the southern shore of the Hambleton peninsula. Otherwise the usual warblers and finches were present.
