Dungeness Wallcreeper on th perimeter wall this morning
Every island on Burrowes was covered in Cormorants leaving only the the few shallows for the Gulls, 100s of Teal, Wigeon, Gadwall and Shoveler on the lake also 3 Goldeneye but still no Smew. Around the peninsula both Ibis still present along with at least 3 Cattle Egrets, 5 Great White Egrets and the usual Marsh Harriers and a coup[le of Common Buzzards. The hay fields were as seems to be the case most days devoid of bird life, even a Peregrine powering over failed to flush anything.
