Sure enough a pair were feeding in the reed beds, and by the looks of it mating. Both seemed to be building a nest of sorts and chasing away anything that came to close.
It is a really nice looking bird and I was surprised how long the legs are.
A Turtle dove has been seen around the reserve also but I lucked out today with a sighting.
A Stone Curlew was also present on the reed beds but only visible via a scope.
Not long before leaving a lone Temminck's Stint was found in the reed bed also.
After talking to a gent he said a group from Nottingham Uni were conducting a survey and as of 15:00 they were up to 80+ species and counting.
