A Harris Hawk, possibly the bird seen last February and on a few occasions since, was seen flying above the woodland. It then flew quickly towards St. Ives.
Near the waterfall a Dipper was watched collecting moss for nesting material.

Little Egret
We have now begun to write the 2018 Report. The records received show that there has been a 35% increase in sightings of the Little Egret. On some occasions two birds were seen in close proximity. How long before the first breeding pair is reported?
