Was there a couple of weeks back (possibly my 3 visit of the year) and keep missing the ibis, but cracking to see avocet chicks. Coast gave great close up views of Sanderling and Knot in summer plumage down near Aindale.

This a.m. fantastic weather.
Large numbers(into the hundreds for some) of Shellduck, Wigeon, Pochard, Teal, Pintail, Curlew, Skylark, Black Tailed Godwit, Redshank, Shoveller.
My first ever American Teal with a perfect set of vertical white stripes just in front of the hide.
Also single Little Egret and a single Avocet returned on the 9th(although I could not find it).
Cheers Ian
