Apart from the Yank peep, best bird was an adult female Marsh Harrier which loitered in the area until I left, drifting up and down, mostly quite high. Here are some amazingly poor photos, in which you can just about see what it is...

Seaton Area
Been fairly murky all day here, with mist coming up the valley this evening too. A late afternoon visit to Black Hole Marsh did not give the hoped-for close views of the Semipalmated Sandpiper - though it was visible at some range across the river from the Tower Hide, with about 20 Dunlin and 3 Ringed Plovers. Then a helicopter flew low down the river and flushed everything.
