Nipped down to the reserve the other day for a couple of hours and the water levels are looking good. Unfortunatly didn't see the buff breasted sandpiper but I did twitch it last Friday evening. Year tick 173 and having missed the last one by 2 mins, Titchwell tick 254. The fresh marsh was awesome for waders with just over 200 black tailed godwit (1 colour ringed), green sandpiper, greenshank, 17 ruff (4 colour ringed), 91 dunlin, 13 spotted redshank hobby and a brief spoonbill.

Med gull over garden this morning and there seems to be a few coal tits about at the moment but they won't go into my nets!
