A mild sunny morning at the patch. Dave had arrived before me, but hadn't seen much. This was to set the tone for the rest of the visit,
Our most unexpected find, I wouldn't call it a highlight, was finding a long dead Tawny Owl in the metal barn near Stapenhill Wood. Other than that it was business as usual, 58 Lapwings, 23 Teal, a Red Kite, a Peregrine, two Stonechats, and most of the other species we'd expect to find here in December.

One disappointment was being unable to find any Jack Snipe (or Snipe) in the marsh.
