25th November 2021

 Weather:   N.  cold in the wind, warm in the sunshine

Many Cormorants are counted exiting the estuary after dawn at this time of year, but today for a change our observer counted 808 arriving in several waves of 100 or so back from the sea and travelling upstream past the island to their roost further down the Dee. Some of the 320 Brent around continued to feed over high water as the height of the tides are now dropping. The Kestrel was present all day and 4 field voles were seen, also a dead Wood mouse. It was naturally quite on the small bird front.
