Some summer birds may still be about and some winter birds may have already arrived. It is at this transitional stage of the year that some rarities can turn up. Meet at the footbridge onto the reserve. If you want to take part in the Patchwatch come to the site as early as you like and see what you can find, you might see an owl. The idea is to see as many species of bird on the site as we can in a 24hr period.
