Early morning nine Common Scoter, seven Red-throated Diver and the four Eider were offshore, with one of the latter roosting an sandbars at low tide.
In the estuary 22 Teal and five Red-breasted Merganser with the usual waders around The Bight at high tide, disturbance of the Finger Point roost unfortunately keeping them flighty.
Elsewhere 25 Linnet and the nine wintering Skylark were on Warren Point, a pair of Shoveler were on the Main Pond, and in the bushes, five Long-tailed Tit, four Chaffinch, two Bullfinch and a Goldcrest.
Other Wildlife: On a cool overcast day the single Alexanders in flower attracted the flies Spotted Meliscaeva M. auricollis and Suillia variegata.
