A mobile Dusky Warbler around the Crazy Golf and Railway footbridge was an obvious highlight, just the Warren's second record and almost exactly 30 years since the first on 21-28 Nov 1994. Unfortunately it was only present 11:05 to 11:45, calling constantly it presumably left the area.

Offshore there were 17 Great Crested Grebe, five Great Northern and five Red-throated Diver and four Eider.
Elsewhere a Lapwing was in the estuary, the Siberian Chiffchaff (tristis) was around the Main Pond, with four Chiffchaff and a Firecrest on site. Also at the Main Pond, a roost of 860 Starling, nine Teal, a pair of Shoveler, a Grey Wagtail and more unusually, a Buzzard.
Ringing News: A good total of 16 colour-ringed Dunlin were recorded including four new for the winter, including a regularly returning bird ringed in Poland in July 2017.

184. Dusky Warbler
Other Wildlife: A very rare December Painted Lady flew past the Dusky Warbler and a Grey Squirrel was at the Station.
