Sanderling saves the visit

A dire visit to the pond saved only by Sanderling flushed by walkers along with 3 Dunlin. No sign of the Common Scoter and the Black-necked Grebe was fighting a losing battle with the 7 fishing boats encroaching towards the barrier becoming flighty though still in toft when I left. Very few passerines showing probably due to the drop in temperature finding only 2 Chiffchaff and a Whitethroat. Other sightings included adult Yellow-legged Gull, Buzzard, Grey Wagtail, 6 Yellow Wagtail, 200+ House Martin and 3 Raven.
