Monday 3rd January

Counts from the estuary included the two Black-necked Grebe, a Pale-bellied and 386 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 134 Carrion Crow, 96 Common Gull, 84 Shelduck, seven Greenshank, four Red-breasted Merganser, three Mediterranean Gull and a Kingfisher.

Elsewhere three Great Northern and two Red-throated Diver were offshore, with two Siberian Chiffchaff and 11 Cirl Bunting on site and 800+ Starling roosting at the Main Pond. 

No news was received from the morning tide and the evening tide was after dark, so it is not sure if the Spoonbill is still roosting on site.  

Wildlife News: At least seven Common Dolphin were off the seawall early afternoon.
