With the tide way out in the Wash, I stuck to the lagoon and the salt marsh from the little wooden observation 'hut'.

Good numbers of Goldeneye on the lagoon - more female than male.
Little Grebes numbered 7 on the lagoon.

Also:

Tufted Duck
Shoveler
Mallard
Pintail
Teal
Shelduck - on lagoon and shoreline
Brent Goose (shoreline)
Greylag Goose (lagoon islands, preening and sleeping
Mute Swan - 4 on lagoon
Coot
Moorhen

Curlew - 1 on lagoon islands, a further 4 out on shoreline mud
Oystercatcher - 2 on lagoon islands, several small groups on shoreline
Redshank - circa 6 on lagoon islands, several more on saltmarsh
Lapwing - the most numerous wader. About 500 on lagoon islands
Black-tailed Godwit - 1 on mud near shoreline

Others:

Meadow Pipit - 1 perched on shrub on lagoon fringe.
Robin - 2 in long hedgerow between lagoon and path leading to the Wash
Wren - 1 in same hedgerow
Great Tit - heard near Living Classrooms ALREADY doing the 'teacher-teacher' call!
Blackbird - 1 in hedgerow
Blue Tit - 2 in vegetation across the path from the Living Classroom.

No raptors seen - short visit of only 85 minutes.
