Evening walk saw:

Common Sandpiper
Heron
Wheatear [x3]
Hundreds of Canada Geese out on the marsh
Swallows
House Martin
Black Headed Gull
Chiffchaff
Lapwing
Greater Black Backed Gull
Herring Gull
Common Gull
Cormorant
Oystercatcher
Wood Pigeon
Starling
Great Tit
Goldfinch
Blackbird
Blue Tit
Song Thrush

over on the Hale Marsh area were many Swifts moving around after the insects plus House Martins, Canada Geese, Pheasant and Redshank. Not bad for an evening stroll.

Couldn't find a thread for this place so I've started one here.

Had an Osprey over me today heading west (??) whilst I was having lunch in my van.
