The wintering Spotted Redshank made one of its infrequent visits on the rising evening tide, hidden amongst 169 Redshank and seven Greenshank. Other counts included 567 Wigeon, 316 Dark and a Pale-bellied Brent Geese, 100 Teal, 77 Common and a Mediterranean Gull, 71 Shelduck, a Kingfisher and a Great Northern Diver, with it or another sadly found dead later on.
Elsewhere two Snipe and a Jack Snipe were in Greenland Lake, 11 Cirl Bunting, six Chiffchaff and three Goldcrest were on site and 11 Common Scoter, five Great Northern Diver and four Eider were offshore.
Other Wildlife: The Grey Squirrel was seen again around the Crocus Compound mid morning with presumably the same collecting acorns on the Golf Course. An adult Common and juvenile Grey Seal were on Finger Point early morning with a gingery juvenile Common Seal there later in the day.
