After a foggy start to the day it was a glorious Sunday afternoon for the spring walk. In Longis Baye we saw Little Egret, Shelduck, Oystercatcher and Whimbrel. On Longis reserve Blackcap and Whitethroat were singing, Meadow Pipit were singing in flight display and a male Stonechat perched in a prominent position on a bramble patch. On Longis pond a family of Coot were busy feeding.
The walk concluded with tea and coffee with a fine selection of cakes, a big thank you to the bakers!
