A nice, relatively close Avocet off Mudbank this afternoon. Also there - 94 Wigeon, 86 Mallard, 6 Greenshank and 2 distant Sanderling. Two Chiffchaffs still in the bushes there. Nearby - 1 Pale-bellied Brent Goose with c75 Dark-bellied Brent Geese on the Imperial rugby ground and the 2 wintering Cirl Buntings on the adjacent recreational ground with the male Stonechat. West Lodge was really quiet with just 2+ Redwings and a Chiffchaff seen. A male and female Blackcap were in brambles behind our house.
