We managed to find the 2 mobile Tundra Bean Geese at Dengemarsh with a party of c100 Greylags trying to hide behind some reeds, then a quick visit to Scotney where we located 1 of the 3 Long-tailed Ducks, 3 Goldeneye and 5 Pintail of note.
I spent late morning/early afternoon wandering around the back of the water tower, which was long slog for very little return, 3 Common Snipe being the highlight.
2 Bewick Swans were showing nicely on the ARC viewed from the causeway.

Bewick Swans on the ARC from the causeway
Late afternoon on the Burrowes an adult Yellow-legged Gull was the only notable Gull I saw come into roost.
The drake Smew was again very elusive today, unlike the herd of Bewick Swans at Midley.
The male Hen Harrier came into the roost on the ranges and 2 Short-eared Owls were present per JY.
