Started this morning pre-dawn at Aveley Bay hoping for some sunrise images, fat chance as there was cloud cover in the east while the rest of the sky was clear, there were twenty Avocet in the bay though. To be fair the sun did eventually come out to play and stayed for quite a while, and if you could get out of the biting northerly wind it felt quite pleasant.
I then parked up at the stone barges and walked east to the beacon (can't think of the name of it). I then retraced my steps, carried on post the barges, where I saw a distant Water Pipit, beyond Tilda Rice until you come to a deadend, (i think it's a deadend anyway!) Lots of Black-tailed Godwits and dunling in a number of seperate groups along the way.
