I decided to try to dodge the rain by delaying my visit until after lunch. This did indeed keep me dry, but the weather remained grey and dreary, a bit like the birding.
There were still plenty of Linnets on show, I logged 600 using a combination of photographing one flock on the wires and estimating a smaller group which flew over. The pool contained 90 Mallard, one Snipe, and one male Stonechat.

The flash field produced 27 Teal, one Lapwing, and 40 Canada Geese, while the return journey was enlivened by a flock of 15 Siskins.
Pretty quiet.
