None of the water was on the route itself, so that wasn't too hard going: the problem was definitely more the wind. We'd considered going the opposite direction, and that might perhaps have been a wiser choice, but the Cathedral does make a good landmark.
Wigeon: if so we failed to identify them at the time, so they probably don't count :) The photos are actually clearer than what I was seeing through the binoculars at the time, and we were having enough trouble working out what the shelduck were, so I kinda missed them.
Looking at the one on the centre right it could well be: greyish body with light reddish brown head with a white stripe down it. But it looks a bit white on the front too, and I can't make out the back. The rest of them don't look like anything in my book at all, but they're all a bit fuzzy :)
