If you're not a Whooper Swan, flying into Iceland isn't, perhaps, the best strategy at the moment so maybe some of the  migrants occurring yesterday might think of staying put. The numbers were impressive. 237 White Wagtails, 110 Meadow Pipits and 71 Swallows.  Sand Martins, Wheatears, Willow Warbler and Chiffchaff also around. There were Gadwall and Eiders too.

The usual hares were about - 8 in fact. Volunteers keep a lookout for illegal coursers and, as at the neighboring Marshside Reserve, they don't appear to be struggling unlike in the south-west of England where they are absent from some areas altogether. See www.hare-preservation-trust.co.uk.
