A grey day with rain from mid-morning, although a singing Chiffchaff didn't seem mind. Difficult to know this time of year, whether it's an early spring migrant or a wintering bird.
Over high tide most of the small waders weren't roosting, spending the high tide circling around offshore with just a few resting on the groynes.
Nearly all the Oystercatcher were roosting off site on the railway wall north of Cockwood, with just 20 around the Bight. Other counts included 239 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 93 Curlew, 70 Grey Plover, 31 Turnstone, 30 Sanderling, 27 Bar-tailed Godwit, 21 Knot, the nine Eider, two Red-breasted Merganser and a Great Northern Diver.
Elsewhere a second Great Northern Diver was offshore, a pair of Shoveler were on the Main Pond and late in the day the 2cy presumed Glaucous x Herring Gull again appeared on Bull Hill preroost.
Other Wildlife: No insects were to be found on the Alexanders in the damp weather, however, two weevils made on appearance; a gorse weevil Sitona striatellus, and a clover leaf weevil Hypera postica on a shop front wall early morning.
