Common Sandpiper, Ringed Plover, 2 Little Ringed Plovers, 2 Redshank, Meadow Pipit, 5 Sand Martins, Chiffchaff. Mealy Redpoll, c. 12 Lesser Redpolls, c. 10 Bramblings

Fairly pleasant sunny day, though a little cool.  Quite a good selection of waders, with 2 Little Ringed Plovers and 2 Redshank on the reserve, then a Ringed Plover and Common Sandpiper on the Pavilion spit.

Chiffchaff and Meadow Pipit further round the lake, then later in the morning went to Watergrove and successfully got the Mealy Redpoll, along with good numbers of Lesser Redpoll and Bramblings.
