Surprisingly low diversity for such a nice day that included
two duck species new to the survey. Passerine numbers were
depressed however with only one good feeding flock (sta 16).

No obvious people use (in the last few days anyway). One set
of size 10 (or so) vibrum sole boots from yesterday (probably),
but no recent vehicle activity.
