Tues 25th Mar 25

Another good day at the Haven, the Ring Ouzel was still around and showed well on and off for most of the morning, a Cetti's Warbler was very vocal around the Dell, and 3 Purple Sands and 7 Turnstone were on the rocks below the shelter.

From the Hide: 4 Canada Geese, c100 Wigeon, c 60 Teal, c20 Shoveler, 16 Shelduck, 12 Mallard, 20+ Lapwing, 18 Avocet, 8 Curlew, 7 Blk T Godwit, 3 Redshank, 2 Oystercatcher, 1 Snipe, 30+ Blk H Gulls, 6 Common Gulls, 2 Med Gulls, 2 Chiffchaff, 1 Cetti's Warbler, 1 Reed Bunting BH/MR

A walk to Sandy Point added a Black Redstart (probably the bird Richard had a bit later at the beach huts) and on the way back a cracking male Wheatear.

 Back at the Dell the Ring Ouzel was still about and 2 Red Kites drifted over heading S/E.
