I had a quick look out to sea this morning, just 4 Brent, 1 Gannet, small groups of passerines and a big movement of Woodpigeons all south. Along the approach road just one Goldcrest with a few Tits.

The water over the marsh was as high as I've ever seen it, overtopping the island in the middle of the scrape, and the pond is just part of the flood field.

Around the scrape area, 2 Mute Swans (juvs), 120+ Greylag, 100+ Teal, 80+ Wigeon, 1 Shelduck, 90+ Lapwing, 2 Snipe, 1 Blk. T Godwit, 2 Grey Heron, loads of gulls and corvids, 1 Buzzard, 1 Kestrel.

4 Turnstone were on the sluice rocks and the Grey Wagtail was still around the cottages with a couple of Pied's
