The first hide I called in gave very good close views of a good variety of duck, Mallard, Teal, Wigeon, Shovellers and Shelduck. looking past the lagood to the field beyond, there were Canada and Pink Footed Geese, Curlew and Black Tailed Godwits.
After spending quite a bit of time in this hide I moved along to the next, not quite as well appointed but again giving great views. Very much the same birds but also Pintails, quite a lot of gulls including the not so common, Common Gull, a large flock of Pink Footed Geese also flew in while I was watching and also the most suprising of all a pair of Black Swans, which all though there are quite a number wild in the UK are not yet listed as british birds.
I was intending to walk out onto the sands to see more waders but unfortunately I didnt have time today, still its a good excuse to return soon.
