Avoided the beach because of the weather so a stroll around Marsh Farm found a Great-crested Grebe and a pair of Pochard on the big pool, plenty of Swifts and Swallow overhead with at least 6 Buzzard and a Sparrowhawk. 4 Cetti's Warbler heard,  plenty of Stock Dove, Reed Warbler, Yellowhammer, Reed Bunting, Blackcap, Whitethroat and Chiffchaff seen, several Great-spotted Woodpeckers, Grey Heron, with singles of Mistle Thrush and Grey Wagtail.
