This drake Pintail was one of up to 20 present

These plentiful Wigeon were briefly joined by a Skylark

A group of about five Linnets spent a minute or two looking for seeds before flying off

Like the Linnets, this Snipe could scarcely have been better camouflaged

Lapwings galore!

A single Dunlin was on the prowl
