51+ species on the GBC trip eastwards today, despite lengthy very cold showers of rain and sleet which eventually trapped us in the Red Barn hide for about 2 hours! Highlights at the latter were the Glossy Ibis and a Marsh Harrier. At the Goldcliff lagoons we had 60+ Avocet, c.150 Dunlin, 30+ Ringed Plover, 4 Little Ringed Plover, Lapwing, Redshank, 2 Greenshank, a few Blackwits, 8 Whimbrel on the sea wall, 1 Common Sandpiper, some saw a distant Yellow Wag and there were a few White Wags. Wildfowl included plenty of Shoveler, Teal, a pair of Wigeon, Gadwall and Shelduck.
