    First visit this year as it only opened today. Dull and cool and not good for photos.
    Red Squirrels as usual.

    The lagoon was full of waders, some closer than others.
    Avocets.

    A mix of distant waders, Grey Plovers, Dunlin, Bar Tailed Godwits and a Curlew.

        Thanks @Sheal I thought I would go there before the winter visiting birds departed, after they have gone it will be full of Terns prompting another visit.:smile:
