Media notes
Terrible images of distant and obscured bird. Included here due to the species rarity in the UK.
Observation details
First summer bird showed in flight and also perched on branch and in water in SW corner of reserve. First seen dropping onto a branch on the edge of the reedbed where it sat for a few minutes before flying a short distance and landing on the waters edge, it then walked into the reedbed. I awaited for a further 15 minutes but the bird was not seen again. A first summer bird with buffy wing coverts. Was first photographed on 29th May but despite extensive searching was not seen again until 6th May when it was seen in flight on a couple of occasions; good to jam in on it today after it was seen a few times at around 10:00.
