A Purple Sandpiper in front of the hide was the highlight, a scarce bird here and even rarer inside the estuary. Also from the hide 264 Dark-bellied and a Pale-bellied Brent Goose, 140 Great Black-backed and the adult Yellow-legged Gull, nine Sanderling, the first four Goldeneye of the winter and the Slavonian Grebe.
