Saturday 15th December

A wet and windy day with heavy rain and strong southeasterlies but despite the weather was nothing passing offshore, although as expected very little showing was in the blown out bushes. Counts from the hide included five Avocet sheltering in the Bight with 1210 Dunlin, 140 Wigeon, 61 Knot, 55 Brent Geese, 43 Shelduck, 42 Grey Plover, six Bar-tailed Godwit, two Eider, two Great Northern Diver and an adult Mediterranean Gull.
