The Whooper Swans gleaming in a brief sunny spell at the ARC this morning
From Hanson this morning the usual wildfowl, Herons and Marsh Harriers, a ring tail Hen Harrier was seen before I arrived.
A couple of visits to Cockles Bridge today failed to find the Dotterel among the Golden plovers and Lapwings, probably due to my incompetence. 4 Cattle Egrets were present.
The glossy Ibis and the Green-winged Teal were still present today per JY.
The Bewick Swans are still on Walland Marsh, also reasonable numbers of Thrushes in the hedgerows there.
On the sward at Scotney I found no wild Grey Geese, just 3 Brent Geese and 12 Barnacle geese of any note.

The Bewick Swans have relocated back to Baynham Farm where they spent last winter
