Rain stopped to make it a good evening, with plenty of waders. The best being YELLOW-LEGGED GULL and CASPIAN GULL and John to give us a run down on the id. Also 7 SPOTTED REDSHANK and over 148 BLACK TAILED GODWIT and 168 DUNLIN one of the highest counts for many years. But the sad thing about this was that only 11 birds were this years progeny. We also had glimpse of two WATER RAIL one of which went for a swim. A single HOBBY flew towards us in East Hide and a SPARROW HAWK flew West beside us with prey, which I assume was a PIED WAGTAIL. I also counted five LITTLE RINGED PLOVER and a pair of BITTERN flew over the far marsh. I also had a view although far of a BARN OWL. COMMON and SANDWICH TERN flew in and left just as quick as did a single LITTLE GULL which was also complemented by a MED GULL. MARSH HARRIER count was 3 and teal about 20 birds.
