I walked from the main car park around Eastcourt Meadows then out to Horrid Hill and back in to the visitor centre before heading off out to Motney Hill and back. The most interesting bird was a
Peregrine which powered in towards a group of waders, which it completely missed before alighting on the old causeway some distance out (record shot attached). Also, good numbers of
Avocet (c450),
Brent Goose (170) and
Great-crested Grebe (20). I also saw two
Greenshank, one
Marsh Harrier, one
Sparrowhawk and one
Kestrel. A bit of movement with 20
Chaffinch passing over and four
Skylark as well as a few
Reed Bunting.

Peregrine Falcon.
I really need to get a digiscoping kit as holding my digital camera to the telescope lens just results in too much shake for any decent shots. I've tried a couple below:

Curlew.

Greenshank.
