The Tree Pipit was a nice surprise in the cold early morning at the ARC car park. The bushes around the track to Hanson held lots of newly arrived Chiffchaffs and a single Goldcrest.
From Hanson All 3 Egrets, Glossy Ibis, Marsh harrier, Common Buzzard, 2+ Garganey, Pectoral Sandpiper, Common Sandpiper and the usual wildfowl.

Not quite sure why I took this image

Denge Marsh and the hay fields seemed to be an avian free zone, apart from 2 Spoonbills that I glimpsed briefly flying West as I cycled between Christmas Dell and Scott. Christ was Dell is looking good but with the works ongoing very little to be seen there.
The White Winged Tern was still on Burrowes with at least 9 Black Terns, 2 Common Sandpipers, 3 Dunlin, 20 Knot that flew straight through and 2 Redshank,.
