Wed 29th Dec 21

c900 Brent on the arable prompted the farmer to get out the fireworks again today, so things were kept on the move a bit with the flock heading offshore for a few minutes before dropping back in to feed. At last 5 White-fronted Geese were picked up by Dave Cumming as they dropped in to join the 150+ Greylags on the marsh to the right of the hide.

From the hide: 15 Canada Geese, c90 Teal, 4 Wigeon, 3 Shelduck, 3 Mallard, 1 Lt. Egret, 3 Avocet, 1 Buzzard. DC/RJ/MR.

A walk to the 3rd pillbox added, 4 Mallard and a Redshank on the flooded marsh, 7 Linnets, 2 pairs of Stonechat and a brief view of the Dartford Warbler, on the return 4 Turnstone were on the beach and a raft of Wigeon sat offshore.
