Our first photography guests arrived and busily clicking away in the variety of subjects already on offer! This is still the very beginning of the photography season but some subjects already good enough. We have two pairs of Common Kestrels and a Long-eared Owl already breeding near the ´Red-footed Falcon Tower Hide´ and also the first Redfoots arrived on the 17th April. We also have a hide for Hoopoe and the ´Pygmy Cormorant Hide´ already performing well.

The weather is variable and we also had some rain recently but still being a very dry Spring and all the drinking hides have lots of activities. Black Woodpecker was photographed two days ago. The shorebird hide is also in operation with up to 5-6 species daily. Our new aquatic hide has an amazing start with a Black Stork regularly visiting it!
