A vocal and briefly showy Cetti's Warbler by the First Pond was an unexpected highlight, presumably the bird last recorded on 1st December. Also on site two Sparrowhawk and a Chiffchaff with two Shoveler and two Water Rail at the Main Pond.
A good count of 131 Shelduck were around The Bight with 113 Bar-tailed Godwit, 69 Grey Plover, 35 Curlew, 34 Knot and eight Skylark. Elsewhere 93 Dark-bellied Brent Geese were on the flooded Golf Course, a Great Northern Diver was in the estuary and three Eider were offshore.
Year list additions:
75. Sparrowhawk
