Weather: No wind, mist around the estuary
Flocks this morning of 750 and 100 Pink-footed Geese flying to the north east, also good numbers of sea birds on a calm sea including 25 Red-throated Divers, 60 Great Crested Grebes, 11 Red-breasted Mergansers, 3 Guillemots and 4 Scaup with Common Scoters off the north end. The Common Scoters were estimated at 3,000 birds including those seen distantly in flocks. Unusually The Brent were seen feeding far out south of the west hoyle.
