Seawatching from sunrise saw 329 Gannet and 209 Kittiwake head south in 50 minutes before the rain returned and just two Gannet passed in 30 minutes. Also heading south a 1CY Yellow-legged Gull, eight Great Northern Diver, eight Common Scoter, two Wigeon and 90 Oystercatcher, the latter presumably heading for the Teign after a rough night.
Counts from the estuary included 194 Dark-bellied Brent Goose, 115 Dunlin, 78 Great Black-backed Gull, 27 Sanderling, 26 Grey Plover, 14 Greenshank, 11 Black-tailed Godwit, two Mediterranean Gull, a Pintail and a Snipe, which flew and landed on Finger Point amongst the roosting gulls.
