Saturday pm went over to Horse Eye Level for another look for the Richard's Pipit and dipped again.
However 4 SEOs and 2 Ringtail Hen Harriers kept me entertained till dusk but only 1 came close to photograph.
Sunday morning a couple of hours spent on Walland Marsh saw 100's of Fieldfares but very skittish and always silhouetted against the milky sun.

My prime target was the Whooper Swan which I finally found in the flock of 28 Bewick Swans. Also of note were the 4 Tundra Bean Geese.

On Dengemarsh the 2 Cattle Egrets were close to the road by Wraxhalls, but 1 went behind the hay stack as I arrived

At Scotney I couldn't find the Scaup or Black-necked Grebes and the weather deteriorated, the feral Barnacles were close to the road
