A blustery day at Marshside. A Great White Egret was present on the pool opposite Sandgrounder’s, but it moved up towards Crossens when I went after it with my camera. As I chased it, I was able to spectate at a spectacular dogfight between a Merlin and a Skylark.

Three Ruffs joined the lapwings and goldies on Sutton’s Marsh; some lbj’s were also present and I couldn’t quite work out whether they were Linnet or Twite.

Other than that, lots of “the usual”.
