Two Buzzards in a blue sky over the SHGC car park and later a Raven into one of the very tall ornamental conifers; ten minutes later it headed off - looked good for a nest site.
At Warblington St Thomas's car park was basically one big pond and exit from the south west gate was impossible without wellies.
All the fields seemed to be empty of cattle and hence the only Cattie Egret was a singleton from the east heading towards the mill pond.
Locally the pond has overtopped, mostly into the fishing bays. Shovelers at exactly twenty are probably as high as they'll get this winter. In the sunnier, warmer spells three terrapins have been taking advantage of the rising temperatures.
Today the Brent numbered 650 ish.
And as usual none of days have been dry; the day after tomorrow looks the best bet.
