10 am when I arrived at NDC. On the first field lots of birds, mostly Starlings, with Woodpigeons, Linnets and Fieldfares.
On the way to the Garganey hide I saw several Yellowhammers.
Lots of Wigeon, Teal, Mallard, Pintail, Canada geese.

Birds sheltering from the wind in the bits of vegetation above water level.
Shovelers came a bit closer.
After 90 minutes I walked back to the Geoff Smith hide and on the way disturbed a male Bullfinch.
A pair of mute swans looked as if they were investigating the island in the middle of the scrape as a nesting site.
A pair of stonechats were flying about, perching on the tall reed stalks.
A pleasant few hours with 31 birds on my day list.
