Another winters day at the Haven with very little change, but there is always something to make it worthwhile. 4 Purple Sandpipers on the seawall was a good start, the Black Swan (however plastic) is an impressive bird when flying around the scrape, a Water Rail & and a Kestrel hunting near the hide + meeting up with the Brightlingsea boys in the hide all in one morning. 

From the hide : 1 Black Swan, c100 Greylag, 10 Canada's, c200 Wigeon, c100 Teal, 12 Shelduck, 6 Shoveler, c600 Lapwing, 12 Curlew, 7 Snipe, 2 BlkWit's, 1 Oystercatcher, 1 Water Rail, 1 Peregrine, 1 Buzzard, 3 Kestrel, PL/IM/ML/MM/MR et al.
