Well my first 2016 visit to Seaton Marshes today was quite successful. First, I checked the North flood where 2 Shoveler - a drake and a femaletype - fed among the Teal. Then, from the Hide, the Glossy Ibis put on a fine display. It flew to the area between Black Hole & Seaton Marshes after treating us to several passes. A Kingfisher and 2 Stonechat were also visible from here. Finally, I tried the path North of the C.P. and picked out a Redpoll among the myriad Goldfinches. Apparently we've had 2 around the Borrow Pit but I couldn't see any there. Still, one was enough...
