Feeding on spit. I initially assumed it was a species of godwit although I wasn't sure, but my thanks go to Graeme who later confirmed it as a Redshank instead. Funnily enough, we met him earlier, before we saw the Redshank, and he mentioned that only one had been seen here so far this year!

Only saw it in the air after I heard it. I think it was tucked up in the SE corner of what's left of the flood (now most of the weed has been removed from the Roundmoor Ditch.) Flew over my head then circled around twice before heading off into Berks. My first in Bucks this year.

Over the last few days I had suspected there might be a chick hidden in cover given the persistent contact calling from an adult. Delighted to see a chick (albeit a single) foraging with an adult in close attendance. Chick looked about a week old.

Including the colour ringed bird. Finally got a good view of the tarsus ring (as well as the tibia rings) which confirmed the bird's identity. It was ringed on the Orwell Estuary in 2019 and first appeared at College Lake in 2020 where it was part of the pair that fledged a single chick. It was back on the Marsh in 2021 but the nest failed, although another pair did successfully rear and fledge a youngster. So back for a third spring and hopefully will nest here again this year.
