Tea, catch up with Paul and Terry at WWT where just a few distant Snipe, one bathing Water Rail, two Kingfishers neither close enough for decent photographs. The new photo-perches at Ramsar will be ideal if the opportunity arises and other watchers can stay still and quiet.

A couple of flyover Lesser Redpolls and 75+ Common Gulls plus a close(ish) Kestrel but just too far and horribly backlit.

At Waltham a few Fieldfares, a distant perched Peregrine, a quartering cream-crown Marsh Harrier and later a very flappy Red Kite. Sadly the GGS wasn't anywhere on show, so maybe another go tomorrow.
