Just over an hour during high tide this morning before the rain set in, and joined briefly by Russell Jones.
Highlights on the flood: Superb close views of 11 black-tailed and 1 bar-tailed godwit, 16 lapwing, 73 curlew, 76 teal, 42 wigeon. 5 red breasted mergansers and 2 pintail and approx 200 wigeon on the river, and reasonable views of a small party of Greenland white fronted geese on the grazing marsh below Ynys Eidiol common. No sign of the avocet, and the only raptor a single buzzard.
