5 days 12 ticks

Been to the patch 5 straight days since Sunday afternoon this week, Working evenings has given me the time to go in the mornings and has proved well worth it with things getting better as the week progressed. The weather has been rubbish all week making photography difficult if not impossible at times (with my set up anyway). Visiting the Bay, Creekmouth and Silver birch wood as given me 12 year ticks and a bonus tick for the Grey lag goose i saw in February but forgot to put on my list. New for the year in no particular order are Collared dove, Barwit, Cuckoo, Corn bunting, Mistle thrush, Artic tern, Swift, Whimbrel, Whinchat, Reed warbler, Greenshank 7 last but definatly not least Short eared owl.

lets hope it carries on getting better for the week end. today was a real wader fest with Ringed plover ,little ringed plover, Dunlin, Grey plover, Lapwing, Barwit, Blackwit, Oystercatcher & Greenshank. As well as the SEO and Reed Warbler. Roll on Saturday
