The flood water in the river saw a much higher tide than forecast with most waders packed tightly onto Finger Point and 330 Dark-bellied Brent Geese on the flooded areas of the Golf Course. The Merlin was hunting around the estuary corner with counts including 77 Common, 58 Great Black-backed and a Mediterranean Gull, 37 Ringed Plover, 22 Shelduck, 16 Avocet, seven Greenshank and a Fulmar, which flew down estuary from N of Cockwood.
Elsewhere two Great Northern Diver were offshore, the Cetti's Warbler was singing on the Golf Course, two Siskin flew towards the mainland and a notable flock of 20 Long-tailed Tit were in the Entrance Bushes.
