Started at Lady Anne's Drive, a Greenshank was then followed by a male Redstart that disappeared as quickly as it appeared. Scrapes from Washington Hide are looking good for waders with more pools than usual but only able to see the usual suspects but good to see Lapwing chicks and Avocets on nests.Next up a wild slog around Burnham Overy, 7 Wheatears were dotted around and 5 Little Tern were feeding at Gun Hill. 7 Ring Ouzel obviously not enjoying the weather were huddled together in one bush and popped out one after the other as i walked by. A late evening scan over the freshmarsh revealed the Rough-legged Buzzard hunting and with a final scan i located a Black Tern swooping down over a distant pool. However maybe i was just lost in reflecting on a rather fine day, but there's casual and then there's pomskua casual and somehow managed to miss the last bus of the day and had a wet trudge back to Wells as my reward.</blockquote>
