A beautiful frosty morning today and large parts of the reserve were covered in a thin layer of ice. Teal were everywhere (at least 200), the air alive with their flight and evocative, call. There were fieldfare in the hedgerow and about 30 meadow pipit and 20 skylark constantly bursting out of the wet vegetation at the northern end of the reserve, near the wood. At least 7 snipe around too and one hare running across the grassland near south hide.
