Jayne and I arrived in Cornwall on Saturday, and, after some lovely food in the Birdies Bistro, headed straight to the RSPB's Hayle Estuary and Ryan's Field.
Walking into the hide, we were greeted by approximately 10 Redshank, a single Black-headed Gull and a Danish-ringed Spoonbill, that was feeding on the reserve.

We then walked across to the estuary where there were several hundred Canada Geese, 1 Grey Heron, 1 Little Egret, Shelduck, Wigeon (200+), Teal (100+), Ringed Plover (2), Dunlin (2), Bar-tailed Godwit (5), Curlew (c.30), Herring, Black-headed, 1 Great Black-backed and at least 6 Mediterranean Gulls (4 1st winters and 2 adults).
