There are still a few warblers singing we heard Chiffchaff, Sedge warbler and Whitethroat on the first footpath away from waterhay.
Over the man area of water a couple of Common tern were fishing with a Black headed gull for company.
Waterfowl numbers seem to be a little higher at the moment it seems things are moving around.
Several Buzzards were seen soaring on the thermals and a scan of the trees found three Little egrets.
Looking over the reed bed both Reed bunting and Reed warbler were found and on the water a few Red crested pochard floated around.
In the thick scrub a lot of young birds could be heard but impossible to see through the vegetation.
Heading back our highlights were a fantastic Grass snake moving across the path just in front of us and a small area of Orchids still in flower.
A lovely peaceful walk around one of my favourite areas in the water park. DT.
