Wash out!

From the concrete road this morning 142 Gannets down channel, 1 Manx Shearwater up channel, 2 Whimbrel and 2 Curlew down, a Mediterranean Gull down and few Common and Sandwich Terns fishing.
Mid morning at the ARC 100+ Sand martins over the lake, 2 Black-tailed Godwits, 2 Redshanks including a juvenile and the usual Little Egrets and Ducks.
When the rain finally stopped this afternoon I wandered from Springfield Bridge to Dengemarsh. Dengemarsh flood held the usual Greylags and a single Yellow Wagtail, the desert that is Hayfield 3 held a Shelduck, a Little Egret, a Black-headed Gull and a Crow.
Over Dengemarsh 40+ Swifts and a Hobby being chased by the Common Terns. Over the reed bed 3 juvenile Marsh Harriers and an adult male causing havoc among the Coot.
Late afternoon at The Patch, 100+ Common Terns, 6 juvenile Yellow-legged Gulls, 3 Mediterranean Gulls and another North Thames colour ringed Herring Gull KH7T
