Waders were well scrutinised for colour rings over high tide, Oystercatcher will be on the move north soon. Selected counts from the estuary included 102 Bar-tailed Godwit, 70 Knot, 56 Shelduck, 32 Ringed Plover, 27 Sanderling and a Red-breasted Merganser.
Elsewhere the first Little Grebe since the short freeze was back on the Main Pond with seven Shoveler and four Teal, with 19 Red-throated Diver, through and in the bay at dawn.
Other Wildlife: A Grey Seal was in the estuary with a Devil's Coach Horse Ocypus olens, 25mm of elite predator under driftwood.
