Some decent records despite the wet weather

The very strong wind died down overnight, but picked up again from the south during the day, but nothing like yesterday's storm. Rain pretty much all morning turning to occasional showers in the afternoon

David Talbot and Peter Stevens watched the tide cover the saltmarsh:

We spent a couple hours braving the weather at Ocean Edge marsh this morning, we had 21 Common Snipe and 6 Jack Snipe. 

We nearly stood on 2 of the latter on the walk back just below OE field!

Today's high water was theoretically higher than yesterday's, but without the surge and the high waves it didn't reach as high up the wall
