Just over 200 meadow pipits and 28 'alba' wagtails (all pied) were feeding in the recently-mucked stubble fields and along the new flood bund this afternoon.
22 linnets were also new in, in three parties near Freeman's wood, where two chiffchaffs were in song.
A sand martin flitted north over Railway Crossing Lane.
The Ross's goose was showing well but flighty. It even decamped to the Colloway side mid-afternoon! At times it was to be seen drinking and preening in the river near 'Gull Bank' .
It was in the company of 815 pink-footed geese.
The regular two whoopers (an adult and subadult) were at the northern end of the marsh.
A black-tailed godwit and the gadwall pair graced the pools.
A grey partridge was in song near the pylons.
'Parishioner Dan'
