The highlights were Four Common Sandpipers, 300+ Redshank, 28 Dunlin, one Knot, one Sanderling, eight Shelduck, 100's of Curlew and at least 3 Whimbrel.
In the river there was a shoal of Mullet splashing about.

| Common Sandpiper, see how the white underside goes up to the shoulder, a good ID feature
After moving the furniture in the next task on my mind was the garden, and especially a pond, well here is the almost finished pond , planted with native pond plants, such as Yellow fringed Water Lily, and Branched Bur Reed there have already been damselflies visiting!!!

| Due to the make-up of the ground I could only dig down 15cm, so the pond is a raised pond, 180cm X 90cm the twig bottom right hand, is a perch for dragonflies. |
