Grabbed the opportunity of a dry morning (as did David O at Sprinkle Pill) to get the WeBs done, which even in dull weather is a beautiful site.
Wildfowl numbers were fairly average with 74 Mallard, 70 Teal, and 10 Greylags, couple of Shelduck and a single Little Grebe, but it was nice to see 2 Green Sands and a Common Sand at the top of the Pill, both new for the year for me,
The 2 Green Sands together
Other waders included 7 Snipe, 2 Greenshanks, and 20 Redshank. Good to see 4 adult Herons around the mini heronry there and other signs of spring included a Buzzard carrying nest material, multiple vociferous Song Thrushes, and a Mistle Thrush in full voice!
A lone Redwing that flew out of some trees when I arrived was the only winter thrush.
