It started out a beautiful morning at Pennington Flash but the fog came down later. Two wigeon were on the open water at the west end and about 10 goosanders, also a couple of kingfishers. Around 30 Goldeneye, 30 great crested grebes, 20 little grebe and maybe 100 tufted ducks were in the ice free bits around the spit, whilst heard but not seen, Cetti's warbler and water rail. Also 10 meadow pipits on the ruck.
I'm afraid I can't see how the car park can remain open much longer, it was heaving again at 11am with streams of cars arriving all of the time. Plenty of groups of people walking around who clearly aren't one household plus one. Apparently the police helicopter has been over, it wouldn't surprise me at all if they move in and start issuing fines today. I was glad to be home for 12, it's only going to get worse this afternoon.
Looking towards the ruck from East Bay.
