    Notes The level has risen further since the last count - could be full, or nearly. This means that there is even more open, shallow water beyond the fringing reed/rush beds; this was being used by waterbirds, but was unfortunately not visible when scanning the pan from the adjacent high ground. Great Crested Grebe - adult with 2 young (very small).
