Thurs 18th March - Afternoon - And so it begins...

15:30 > 16:00
A balmy 16c, overcast, light SSW breeze.

A pair of Sandmartins over the water on arrival surely heralds the start of 'spring'.
Green Sandpiper in an ever decreasing Godwit Corner, now down to the extent that a pair of Canada Geese barely had their feet covered with water twenty feet out.
Elswhere a pair of Goosander remain as do the Tufted Duck quartet.
A Little Egret sat on the small island at the mouth of the inlet.

The water level is starting to look very promising, the new spit grows day on day and if it is indeed a barries from north to south the main body may be divided in two in the coming days at which point the eastern side might see level drop dramatically if the pumps are on leaving the western end as it was at this time last year, and look what happened then.
