Saturday the 11th was the East Berks RSPB group's coach outing to Minsmere RSPB Reserve.
It was a great day out, and really nice to see some of the gang again.
At this time of year it is possible to reach a big count for the day by the group and this year 90 species were recorded by the group as a whole.
Highlights included:
3 kittiwakes roosting amongst the gulls on the scrape, 7 little terns, 5 hobbies, 2 nightingales, turnstones, common sandpipier, bar tailed godwit, a roosting tawny owl and intimate views of a avocet pair swopping incubating duties on their clutch of eggs.
