The first winter Glaucous Gull was again around the seawall in the afternoon with single Eider and Great Northern Diver also offshore. Elsewhere the arrival of snow did not result in any noticeable movement but a littoralis Rock Pipit was in the Bight and counts from the estuary included 404 Oystercatcher, 139 Brent Geese, 110 Dunlin, 74 Grey Plover, 54 Knot, 31 Shelduck, 25 Bar-tailed Godwit, 22 Sanderling and the Slavonian Grebe.
Ringing News: Two recoveries from the Oystercatcher Project in the last week, both from overseas.

The second (7K) was at Eastern Scheldt, Netherlands on 12 Mar which was at the Warren on 05 & 20 Feb.
