Five members of the group attended this visit. The weather was mostly cloudy and fine but with a few showers and (even fewer) sunny intervals. The visit coincided with high tide and there were large flocks of geese, ducks and waders. Unfortunately the hazy conditions made it difficult to identify all the species present.
