Sunny Cliffe Pools at low tide

Telescope views are wonderful in these well lit conditions and I quickly found the Black-necked Grebe in among the Little Grebes, Great Crested Grebes, Tufted Duck, Pochard, Goldeneye, Clangula bucephala, Black-headed Gulls and Coot at the back corner of Radar Pool. There were good numbers of duck overall with hundreds of Shoveler and Teal, and dozens of Pintail and Wigeon.

On the new beach there were hundreds of  Lapwings and no other waders. Some Wigeon and Teal were on the shoreline, but surprisingly few Gulls. A few Herring Gulls and Black-headed Gulls were scattered across Radar and Flamingo.
