A chilly morning again with a strongish north/easterly wind. A couple of birders had a Garganey at the ramp early on. Just a pair of Tufted duck and Gadwall at Feast hide. Marsh hide was better with 2 Avocet,1 pair of Wigeon, probably the same pair i saw on Stodmarsh lake yesterday, and 1 Yellow wagtail. Also seen were a pair of Linnet's, a couple of Sand martin's and 2 Sedge warbler.
