\nWe had a nice morning out on a beautiful sunny day \u2013 unbelievable for February but we have had a few recently. We had a year tick Green Sandpiper and Tree Sparrow and Common Snipe were more regular ticks, but still first for the year. A nice group of male and female Goosanders were colourful additions to the usual ducks (plenty of Wigeon) and there were even a few Black-tailed Godwits. Not a fantastic collection of birds – but still thirty-six species – but a nice morning out.<\/p>\n
