WeBS and Westfield Pill

My WeBS count at Hook/Sprinkle Pill was bird filled this afternoon, with a total of 4,663 waterbirds counted including:

Lapwing 1,580

Golden Plover 1,259

Dunlin 610

Teal 576

Canada Goose 301

Redshank 85

Wigeon 78

Shelduck 77

Pintail 6 (3 drakes)

Grey Plover 5

Knot 3

Greenshank 3

Jack Snipe 1 - walking along the saltmarsh I saw a small pool ahead and said out loud to myself "looks good for a jack Snipe" and 3 seconds later I flushed one! Great flight views as it circled around me with the light at my back before landing across the other side of the channel

Earlier a visit to Westfield Pill proved fruitless - I couldn't find the Mandarin.
