"Diamonds and rust"
As Joan Baez sang many years ago. Well, the girders are painted red rather than rusty, but the frothy water below the weir this afternoon really did look like diamonds sparkling in the sun.
East Marsh had a few patches of dry land above water....
......while West Marsh was almost completely submerged.
Several snipe could be seen hunched on what looked like rafts of vegetation, and pied wagtails skipped about foraging in damp places. As dusk approached a water rail ran from one stand of reeds into another; and that was about the best I saw today.
