A glorious morning enjoyed by 10 members at this little known and little visited nature reserve. In addition to the 36 species of birds identified, we also enjoyed a riot of flowers and plenty of Damsel and Dragonflies. The stars of the show were undoubtedly the Black-necked Grebes. All told there were at least 6 adults and 10 or more juveniles. In addition to the usual warblers and hirundines, a Hobby kept the group entertained for several minutes as it got closer and closer eventually flying overhead and thus giving good views through binoculars.
