A short sea watch this morning in damp breezy conditions and very poor visibility, so it was unsurprising that I saw very little.
I then went Hanson hide where the Avocets were still insitu along with the Black-headed Gulls. The Common Terns look as though they might try and nest there.
A wander around Burrowes saw 6 Knot, 7 Grey Plover, 3 Dunlin, 2 Turnstone, a Reeve and c20 Ringed Plover. From Christmas Dell I could see lots of Hobbys hawking over the back of Hookers, so I headed there stopping for a look at Hayfield 1, which held 5 Avocet, a Bar-tailed Godwit, 4 Shelduck, more Ringed Plovers and 3 Cattle Egrets. At the back of Hookers 15+ Hobbys were hawking insects, also the female Red-footed Falcon giving me insane views as hawked over the lake and path sometimes skimming my head, just a pity about the very windy conditions and low light, I still managed some nice pictures as it performed for all comers for several hours.
The above and below images were taken last night as the sun was setting
These are just a sample of images taken today of this stunning bird
