Oare Marshes 19th Sep

Midday visit to Oare for a couple of hours, not moving from the viewing bay.
Oare always seems to come up trumps for me showing the largest collection of ringed plovers i have ever seen in 1 go, over 100. Other birds of note was 1 curlew sand, 1 little stint, plenty of dunlin, blackwits, redshank, avocet, golden plover, 2 greenshank, 1 snipe, 1 spotted redshank and at least 3 herons, one of which ate 2 good sized eels. There is a pic below of the heron with 1 of the eels, but please be aware, the heron was some way away and the sun went in as well, so not the best shot.
