Rubbish weather with rain all day and loads of surface water especially on the return journey where headlights, front and rear fogs plus double speed wipers was the order of the day - and yet some people refuse to put any lights on at all. Felt like a boat might be more appropriate!!
No real chance to try out the new camera and certainly nothing macro-able like yesterday. Snipe down to 17 only but I'm guessing many more were hunkered down out of view. A Kingfisher was just outside and reappeared later landing on the roof before making off to the new hide. I'm guessing the raised structure and support beams gives it/them somewhere to keep out of the worst of the weather.
Lots of feeder activity (usual suspects plus Nuthatch) with a Marsh Tit, only heard, but seen by others.
Pochard up to sixteen, a dozen each of Lapwing and Wigeon and both Scrape Water Rails feeding close by and unperturbed by (discrete) watchers.
Nice to catch up with M&LH (with 3 year old - star 'em young!!) for the first time in over four years.
Sadly missing glove not in lost property.
