No sign of the Jack Snipe this morning, but 6 Purple Sandpipers were on French Point rocks with a Turnstone and an Oystercatcher.

Out on the marsh were 2 Mute Swans, 40+ Greylag, 30+ Brent Geese, loads of Wigeon & Teal, 12 Shoveler, 8 Mallard, 3 Shelduck, c250 Lapwing, 43 Curlew, 4 Blk. T Godwits, 1 Snipe.

 After yesterdays Chinese Water Deer today we had two, and to find them both on the island with the amount of water on the scrape was a bit of a surprise, I don't know why really, the hints in the name I suppose.
