Some early morning movement out to sea with 139 Kittiwake and 56 Gannet SW along with seven Common Scoter, five Great Northern and Red-throated Diver and three Eider.
A sixth Great Northern Diver was in the estuary, with 98 Grey and 20 Ringed Plover, 96 Bar-Tailed Godwit, 40 Knot, nine Sanderling, nine Greenshank, three Red-breasted Merganser, two Shoveler and a Pintail.
Elsewhere four Shoveler were on the Main Pond with 11 Long-tailed Tit, two Chiffchaff and two Goldcrest on site. The highlight was a Common Redpoll with a single Lesser Redpoll, the second site record for this soon to be subspecies. The site was however strangely quiet for finches with four Bullfinch the peak count, along with single Chaffinch and Linnet and no Greenfinch or Goldfinch.
Year list addition:
187. Common Redpoll
Ringing News: A total of 17 colour-ringed Dunlin were recorded, including a new individual for the winter.
