Glorious start to the day and decided to walk around the farm rather than the beach. 11 Pochard, 7 Gadwall, 3 Tufted Duck, 4 Wigeon, 21 Teal, 1 Water Rail, 11 Snipe, 1 Greylag Goose, 11 Lapwing, 1 White Wagtail, 2 Med Gull, 4 Chiffchaff, 18 Fieldfare, 1 Bullfinch, 3 Yellowhammer and 3 Buzzard.

Quick walk around the golf course area this morning produced singles of Firecrest, Stonechat, Wheatear, 2 Chiffchaff, 114 Carrion Crow, 2 Song Thrush but the bird of the morning was a Little Ringed Plover.

Could only manage a couple hours in the cold wind this morning, my efforts include 6w 3e Common Scoter, 4w Shelduck, 1e Diver spa, 2 Great-crested Grebe, 5e Red-breasted Merganser, 3e Med Gull, 12e |Sandwich Tern plus additional 17 in the field with 7 Brent Geese. 2 Wheatear, and 3 Chiffchaff.

 

Good number of Sandwich Tern offshore and in the flooded fields.
