Another bad weather day. I managed to walk down to Garganey Hide without getting too wet.
More water than yesterday but a lot fewer ducks. All I could see were a pair of shoveler and a male mallard. Lots of lapwings, golden plover, dunlin, 1 curlew, 4 redshank and 2 oystercatchers.
They slowly worked their way across the bund as they looked for food. The plovers and dunlin kept taking to the air but I never saw a bird of prey. Two male stonechats were having a bit of a battle for territory.
this brought them close to the hide several times. In the other direction 5 hares were busy chasing each other about.
The weather became more severe so I came home.
