At least three BEARDED TITS at Walton BL this lunchtime, in the reeds to the right of the platform. One female came out into the open no more than a couple of metres from where I stood, very low down. Lots of `pinging' behind her and I could make out at least another two individuals.
Also twelve Siskins in one of the Alders, which surprisingly didn't flee when a Sparrowhawk flew in, circled a few times and then flew away.
And two Water Rails - excellent views of one walking and foraging in front of the reeds directly opposite the screens, and one squealing behind me. (per Geraldine of NBBR)
