Hi VC.

I haven't been for a while, but I do remeber seeing rafts of mergansers, hundreds of Black-tailed Godwits and Avocets. Best bird there though were the Cirl Buntings that hang around with the Yellowhammer flocks in the fields on the right when you walk out along the canal.

I also remember it being the coldest place I've ever been birding, and I've been to North Norfolk, Dungeness, Lincolnshire coast, and Farlington Marshes in the depths of winter.

Cheers,

Adam
