18th Oct - foggy/misty start taking awhile to clear, then sunny, 16C, light S

Welney WWT washes (washes mostly flooded)

Amazing to see 16 Cattle Egrets and a Great White Egret with the cattle on Lady fen, also a Stonechat there.  Plenty of Lapwings and Black-tailed Godwits and a few Ruff.   Marsh harrier hunting and several Kestrels.

The washes are quite flooded, with duck spread all over, but no Whoopers in, presumably out on the fields feeding.

Wells-next-the-Sea, outer harbour; late afternoon.  Tide in.

Plenty of Dark-bellied Brent Geese, Redshanks, Curlews, a Grey Plover, Shelducks, Wigeon, Mallard,  Oystercatchers and Turnstones, and Little Egrets.

A Hunters Supermom was rising this evening.
