A wander out the back of Scotney produced 12+ Yellow Wagtails that were for some reason very camera shy, 16 noisy Avocets, a few Corn Buntings but little else notable.
The Ring Ouzel was still at the top end of The Desert but elusive due mainly to dog disturbance. The Great Northern Diver is still asleep in the centre of Burrowes Pit where the Little gulls seemed to have moved on. The hay fields hosted 7 Avocet and Black-tailed Godwit of note. An Osprey flew across the peninsula per JY. There were 2 Cattle Egrets at Cooks Pool and a Great White Egret at the southern end of the ARC, a few more Swallows were in evidence today.

This Great-crested Grebe spends much time catching tiddlers in front of Hanson Hide
