A cold, windy miserable morning at the sea watch hide where in 45 minutes I saw just 12 Gannets fly West and 2 East, along with a handful of Gulls.
At the ARC again no sign of the Ring-necked Duck among the many Pochard and Tufted Duck, 4 Black-tailed Godwit were feeding and Kingfisher flashed past carrying a fish.
I walked in from Springfield Bridge this afternoon, at the hayfields Pied Wagtails were feeding newly fledged young, also 2 Yellow Wagtails there, a Hobby was sheltering from the wind and showers, a Glossy Ibis sparkled in the brief sunny spells, 2 Avocet were in hay field 2 which is rapidly drying out, as are all the others. As expected there was nothing of note on a very windswept Burrowes and very few visitors.
Back at the bridge as another shower swept through I surprised a Fox with Vole.
