Parked at Swigshole, and walked the circular route via St Mary's and Little Egypt and back.
Several blackbirds and 1 Moorhen in the paddock, 1 Blackcap in the scrub. 3+ Little Egret, 15 Greylag, 4 Canada Geese, a score at least of Black-headed Gulls, 1 Lesser Black-backed Gull, 8+ Herring Gulls, mostly young, 1 female Wheatear, 2+ Cormorants, 4+ Mallard, 4 Shelduck, 5 Redshank, 6 Curlew, 10+ Skylark, 2 poss Avocets, 1 Male Marsh Harrier.
The Marsh Harrier showed very well in the evening light, despite the apparent "noise" evident in the sky at ISO 800 and this amount of cropping. The three colour pattern of the upper wing is very clear in the first picture, with the shoulder looking even whiter.
