Weds 21st Dec 22

Very high water level on the marsh at the moment but not so many birds, probably lots of new places to feed, 4 Avocet were nice to see on the scrape.

From the hide: 64 Teal, 16 Wigeon (more below raised platform but difficult to see), 7 Shoveler, 4 Avocet, c80 Brent (between Tennis and Golf clubs), lots of Corvids (on arable), 2 Kestrel.

Offshore: 40+ Cormorants were heading north first thing, c12 Red-throated Divers sitting on the sea and a few more flying around and a single Turnstone was on the sluice. RJ/MR
