As soon as I stepped into the field I had a close encounter with a young MERLIN flew through the piggery and disappeared. This was a good start to a raptor day. Next one up was a female MARSH HARRIER and then a KESTREL. followed MINUETS LATER BY A common buzzard. Down on the cove 4 female and male GOLDENEYE. Mallard in abundance and MUTE SWAN. Also several LAPWING with BARNACLE GEESE in the far field. I also picked up on 2 BEARDED TITS although I am sure there was more and a pair of MEADOW PIPIT and the same in regards to PIED WAG. WREN and ROBIN as well as HEADGE SPARROW. I only put to flight 1 SKYLARK although I heard about 4 through the bushes. At Benacre flock of BARNACLE GEESE with a good sprinkling of young birds. CROW, ROOKS are flying high at times today and already pairing up. At the broad I was met by a small flock of BEARDED TIT (5) Right outside the hide. Views where not good. DABCHICK where very white but not conclusion on any rarities. Other stuff included GOLDFINCH, CHAFFINCH, GREAT TIT, BLUE TIT, SPARROW HAWK. STOCK DOVE and LONG-TAILED-TIT.
