Sand martin was spotted above one of the hides at Gruinart during the guided walk. From the hides dozens of waders and ducks were seen. Displaying lapwing and redshank, one bar-tailed godwit, curlew, several shovelers, pintails, wigeon, teal and mallard. Pair of mute swans, couple hundred barnacle geese and a dozen whitefronts. Good views of goldcrest and wren singing along the woodland trail.
