Flat calm so came across the 2 Firecrest in brambles on the reserve but the only other things of note out there were single Lapwing (that narrowly avoided being taken by Peregrine) & Skylark. Offshore heading south 7 Shelduck, 3 Brent, 2 Red-throated Diver plus north bound 13 Brent, 3 Shelduck & 3 Oyks. It's the time of the year when the Newts are starting to newt around in the pond.
