The first Cattle Egret of the year flew S from Cockwood early morning with a Greylag Goose doing the same a couple of hours later, briefly landing in Shutterton Creek. Also in the estuary 329 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 100+ Bar-tailed Godwit, 31 Ringed Plover, 16 Avocet, 11 Teal, six Greenshank, two Red-breasted Merganser and a Great Northern Diver.
An adult Little Gull was offshore along with 10 Great Crested Grebe, eight Common Scoter and eight Great Northern Diver with two Mute Swan in off the sea. Elsewhere the Cetti's Warbler was singing from the car park, two Cirl Bunting were in Greenland Lake, the species has been very scarce this winter, and 10 Long-tailed Tit, two Chiffchaff and two Goldcrest were in the bushes.
