I love the way Lake Lodge wakes up at this time of year. At first the lake seems calm and deserted then a kingfisher flies past, an egret arrives on the island, a muntjac deer runs past, a heron starts calling, some mallard fly over, an otter pokes its head up, the squirrels start chattering in the trees and all the other birds seem to wake up at once and join in. I keep my Merlin App busy here identifying all the birds and am amazed at the variety we have.
