The Bearded Tit and Black-necked Grebe remain at the Main Pond, although the former does also disappear over the Entrance Bushes on occasion. A redhead Goosander was in the estuary with 13 Goldeneye, the Slavonian Grebe and a Mediterranean Gull with four Black-tailed Godwit, a Greenshank and a Kingfisher new for the year. Elsewhere two Water Pipit were in front of the hide, 140+ Great-crested Grebe were off Langstone Rock (most outside the recording area), with 12+ Red-throated Diver and a Black-necked Grebe also offshore. There was again no sign of the reported Bonaparte's Gull, the last confirmed sighting at the Warren was on November 18th.
