Brandon Marsh; this afternoon a visit here, notable sightings included 2 Bewick and 4 Whooper Swans that have been on East Marsh for several days.  A good number of Teal and Lapwings, plus a single female Goldeneye were present too.  On Teal pool a Little Egret was hunting and a Sparrow Hawk dashed by.  In the dead trees I counted 41 Stock Dove.
