Sora (2)

Common Moorhen(1)

Wilson's Snipe(3)

The last 2 species were in the large impoundment on the left: beyond the
right of the island and further back in the brown grassy/reedy vegetation on
that has some silt below it. You definitely need a scope to observe them.
(The place that the  Bittern was seen on Friday was underwater on Sunday).
