Rain, at last

Lade 0800hrs - rain, low cloud, sw2 - Slogged around the pits in the rain for very little reward apart from a couple of Med Gulls overhead. No sign of any migrants.
RSPB - 1230hrs The Long-tailed Duck and Spoonbill could be seen from the causeway road at ARC along with 12 alba wagtails, 10 Mipits and a Curlew; a Water Pipit had been reported earlier. At Springfield Bridge had brief views of a Garganey on the lake and a pair of Ravens on the flood. Otherwise, another quiet day.
