Very wet start holds numbers down

A rather poor 43 for my hour or so around car park, Lavell's and BSL sailing club.

A later walk proved as expected, that the rain was not going to stop today, a Water Rail calling briefly on the Sandford backwaters on the West side, was the only addition to make my 44th species today.

The park is on 52,  without Little Egret, Bittern and most of the other scarce birds I mentioned before, but with Treecreeper, Snipe Cetti's and Siskin, otherwise a very wet, low start to the year and flood levels rising again right now, will make it hard to make the next 3-4+ days count.
