There seem to be good numbers of Avocet and Black-tailed Godwit building in Middlebere with 350 Avocet and up to 750 Black-tailed Godwit present this afternoon. At Hatch Pond a small selection of winter duck had returned with several Gadwall and Tufted Duck on the water. In the PC World Drain several Chiffchaff, 2 Blackcap, 1 Grey Wagtail and 1 Kingfisher were counted. At Sunnyside 3 Wheatear, 1 Whinchat, 1 Black-tailed Godwit and 4 Lapwing were around the pools. On Browsnea 11 Spoonbill were on the Tamarisk Island and 1 Spotted Redshank was out in front of the Lower Hide. Up on Ballard migration was rather slow but 18 Chiffchaff and 51 Blackcap were logged moving through the site.
