Plus youngsters hitching a ride
an "I'm not sure" duck
A beautifully refreshed robin looking pristine
There were also a number of Great, Blue and Marsh Tit, Goldfinch, and Chaffinch also looking pristine which was nice to see
Some sort of sandpiper (so I was told by a chap in the hide)
And with a Snipe (as I was also told)
And solo
Kingfisher
Common (probably) Darter
A comma at the top of a tree
Cormorant being magnificent
And then being less so when his mate comes to visit
A not quite red Red Admiral
A little singy birdie
And did I mention there were geese?
