As the nights gently draw in, by the time it gets to 8pm most of the birds on the reserve are roosting or getting ready to roost, so there isn't a huge amount to see. Apart from the ducks, who seem to be ready to eat bread whatever time of day it is. However, on the lake near the bridge to Juniper Way a coot family has set up nest, and can be seen in the above image with a youngster sticking its head up. They seem to have managed to anchor their nest to some kind of underwater obstruction. Also heard in the area was the Green Woodpecker, probably in Webbs Wood.
