Monday 15th January 2007

An early morning visit was rewarded with the sight of a Little Egret in the trees along the spit. It left the park arounf 07:35 heading in the direction of Cardington.

If you feel like an early morning walk it is well worth coming along in time to see/hear the Crow and Jackdaw roost waking up and leaving. The sound is amazing and the spectacle, as several hundred birds leave the roost, is quite something. You need to be at the park before 07:30 although that will get earlier as dawn gets earlier. The main roost is in the trees between the main lake and Press Mead but you can also find a significant number of birds in the trees around the Finger Lakes.
