A very productive early afternoon visit during my work break saw good numbers of waders with 400+ Lapwings, 1 Black-tailed Godwit, 6+ Ruff, and a single Dunlin on the scrape. Several Wigeon were seen on or close to water and on the grazing marsh Greylags and a pair of Barnacle Geese were present.
At least 2 Hobby were soaring high overhead, and at least 3 Kestrels were having a bad time being harassed by Crows

Visible Migration: My highlight for this visit was a single Turtle Dove which flew right past me, over the marsh, and off in a more or less southerly heading. What an absolute treat to see an actual passage bird. Also seen on the move was 2 Siskins, again, over in a southerly heading, these were probably recently arrived continental birds
