Pavement Plover aka Arenaria interpres pedestrianus,  a shore-feeding Pied Wagtail maybe with aspirations to be a wader!

A smart but unidentifiable ichneumon and some large and obvious fungi along the boardwalk, waiting FB identification (Gymnopilus junonius, probably).

First day here for a while with neither Sprawk nor Marsh Harrier. Quite quiet on scrapes due to ongoing work - just a few Snipe, 15 Wigeon and 25 (ish) Pintail. About twenty or so Ringed Plovers came in at high tide.

A Rock Pipit on the groynes and 100+ Brent Geese plu these Pintail dropping in.
