With the Christmas period over and everyone settling back
into a regular routine we look forward to the next couple of months on the
Reserve. Over the last few weeks many of our geese such as grey
geese and brent have moved off the Reserve. This seems to be much earlier than
previous years and with all the wet weather and sodden ground there is plenty
of places for these waterbirds to use on and off the Reserve. The milder
weather is also having an affect on our wildlife with temperatures being higher
than average for the time of year. Without knowing what's around the corner a
cold snap may change things and we could see different patterns of migration.

It is still winter and the rest of our winter residents are
hunkering down and hoping for their first glimpse of better weather. You'll
still find flocks of waders, ducks and geese throughout the Reserve. If on the
island you may catch a glimpse of Roe deer in the dunes with up to 15 being
seen on occasion. We'll publish the peak counts of birds from December tomorrow so check back then for more information.
