The flooded fields around the peninsular were covered in 1,000s of Gulls which were constantly being disturbed by raptors, Sparrowhawks and Peregrines mainly, while the Linnet and Pipit flocks were being hunted by Kestrel and Merlin. Great, Little and Cattle Egrets could all be seen at Boulderwall and Dengemarsh where at least six Yellow Wagtails were lingering.
On the ARC the Glossy ibis was feeding on its favourite island along with a Garganey, a Black-necked Grebe was out on the lake.
