From the hide:

170+ Teal, 6 Shelduck, c40 Lapwing, 6 Dunlin, 3 Ruff, 1 Redshank, 1 Snipe, 3 Whinchat were on the brambles to the right of the hide. Two Kestrels both on kills were on the newly cut marsh and a Peregrine was up on the arable.MR

On the way back a Sandwich Tern was feeding close offshore at the sluice.
