1st trip here, and in all honesty a little bit overwhelming for the novice birder.
11 new ticks for the Life & Year lists and although the overall count for the day seems a bit low there were actually more birds than you could shake a stick at.
The low count in my opinion was down to a couple of things -
1, The usual not enough time factor.
2, Simply overwhelmed by bird numbers and rather impressive Air Traffic Control style 5* hides
3, A rather painful ankle that sent agony messages to the brain with every step!
Anyway some piccys first for a change -
