Recent visits to the Thompson Water has been productive for common species, notably, the declining Marsh Tit, a species I regularly record here. Numbers of wildfowl have been quite low with small numbers of Teal, Pochard, Gadwall, Shoveler and Mallard being seen.
Around the weedy fringes of the water, Cetti's Warbler occasionally sings, and at the current time, Reed Buntings are showing nicely, often on the tops of reeds nipping at seeds.
