Lea Farm looking perfect

I got down around 06:30 this morning, bright sunshine lighting up the SW corner beautifully, 2 Little Egrets, up to 4 Green Sandpiper and 2 Common, my first Mandarin for several months also in there and all bar the Commons offering some iphone digi shot opportunities.

Mandarin are not that common in August, roughly a record ever 2-3 years and nearly always the 2nd to third week of the month.
