The week in wildlife

A reed bunting perches at the RSPB’s Elmley Marshes reserve in Sheerness, England. Many migrant species from continental Europe and north Africa are expected to arrive on UK shores as the prolonged cold spell makes way for milder and more seasonable weather. The three-and-a-half acre reserve, on the Isle of Sheppy, has the highest density of breeding waders in southern England including avocet and redshank. The area is also known to be one of the best sites in the UK to view birds of prey such as the peregrine falcon, marsh and hen harriers, rough-legged buzzards and short-eared owl
