Andy's comments........
 
Also of interest...HESC provided an unusually high proportion of the wildfowl/wetland birds count for the whole complex, with very little elsewhere.  

The Reserve is clearly a crucial component in the Linford Complex.

    Just the 1 Kingfisher? Aren't you going to need 2 for the KFB? Or is this some kind of welfare-based single parent initiative? Oh, and if you want any more Oycs, you just have to ask :o)
