Things were a little more interesting from the hide this morning with 5 LRP's and 2 Common Sandpipers on the scrape. The Sandpipers seemed to be getting some peace on Leon's marsh and for some reason the Avocets seemed very tolerant of the LRP's. 
The same couldn't be said for two groups of Blk.T.Godwits (4 and 2) that came into the scrape during the morning, both of which were seen off by the Avo's before getting their feet on the ground.
From the hide :-  15 Avocet (+ c20 chicks), 6 Blk.T.Godwit (over), 5 LRP's, 4 Lapwing, 3 Redshank, 2 Common Sandpipers, 2 Oystercatcher, 3 Cormorant, 1 Lt. Egret, 1 Buzzard, 2 Kestrel, 1 Bearded Tit, 6 Linnet, 3 Reed Bunting, 2 Reed Warbler, 2 Goldfinch, c20 Swallows.
