Had thought a few bands of blustery showers coinciding with high tide would drop something in,... didn't. First up, nothing dropped in; secondly, there was very little to drop in on. The recent (and ongoing) rainfall has pushed the water levels right up and there is now very little exposed mud to draw down the flyover rare/scarce/mildly interesting wader. The bits and bobs that were present included: three Wigeon, ten Pintail, one juvenile Marsh Harrier, two Peregrine, three Avocet, 79 Ringed Plover, just 12 Dunlin, one Ruff, ten Snipe, 13 Black-tailed Godwit, six Greenshank, one juvenile Mediterranean Gull and 30+ Yellow Wagtail.
The Marsh Harrier caught another duck, that's two this week, it gonna get fat!
