Wombwell Ings  Late AM- Ventured on the Ings but the rain blowing in made the hide uncomfortable with standing water on the ledges and bench. The poor visibility also made viewing difficult. However , there were 250+ Canada Geese, 60+ Greylag Geese and 4 Pink Footed Geese in the back field . 2 Snipe, 5 Pied Wagtail, 1 Cormorant , 25+ Mallard, 20 + Gadwall and 10 + Teal. No hesitation was needed to leave when a Grey Phalarope was reported from Old Moor.
