Bert's arrival saw a very wet and windy day on site, but there was little passing offshore with an hour early morning only revealing a few Kittiwake heading S or foraging with an adult Mediterranean and several Common Gull. A Great Northern Diver on the sea was occasionally glimpsed between the waves.

Counts from The Bight over high tide included 340+ Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 102 Shelduck, 74 Bar-tailed Godwit, 58 Knot, 24 Sanderling, five Ringed Plover, three Red-breasted Merganser and a Great Northern Diver.
Ringing News: Another good day for Dunlin, with 15 colour-ringed birds noted, all from the Exe scheme and including several new for the winter, a couple of Oystercatcher were also new for the winter, with an Exe ringed Bar-tailed Godwit recorded for the first time since February 2021.
