Just so that Anne [[[1344584]]] doesn't feel too deprived, you can see red-necked phalaropes on the loch, if you're very lucky! A family who had been sharing the hide with us had almost reached their camper van a quarter of a mile away when two birds appeared from out of the bogbean and swam across several yards of open water to the next patch. If you zoom in and look to the near side of the flat water off the further mat of bogbean, you can just about make out the birds - honest!
