Monday 28th October

The storm lived up to expectation rather than the hype with a first winter Little Gull in the estuary and a Great Northern Diver south offshore the only notable sightings. Other records included 1385 Wigeon, 357 Redshank, 171 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, nine Mediterranean Gull, two Greenshank, two Black-tailed Godwit and the Slavonian Grebe in the estuary, a late Wheatear on site and two Siskin overhead.
