The first local ground frost of the winter brought few obvious changes except a reduction to five Chiffchaff on site, with the Dartford Warbler still on the Dune Ridge towards Warren Point.
Counts from the estuary included 76 Shelduck, 63 Bar and a Black-tailed Godwit, 53 Grey and 18 Ringed Plover, 40 Great Black-backed Gull, three Red-breasted Merganser, two Shoveler and two Pale-bellied Brent Geese.
Elsewhere three Shoveler were at the Main Pond with four Great Northern and a Red-throated Diver offshore.
Ringing News: Three new Great Black-backed Gull were recorded, two 1cy from Portland and northern France and a 3cy from Norway. Three new Exe ringed Dunlin were also recorded, along with nine others.
