Inner Marsh Farm.

It turned out to be a lovely afternoon...so I headed for Inner Marsh Farm, as soon as I got there, there was a Wood Sandpiper showing really well in front of the hide, it was bathed in sunlight and showed off its beautiful plummage. A few minutes later a Stonechat settled on one of the reeds in front of the hide as well, and most rewarding of all was a Merlin swooping down onto a Snipe on the island, in full view of the hide, she then continued to tuck into her prey, feathers flying everywhere! A really spectacular sight and a first for me.
