Weather: N force 4, later 5
Unusally for the time of year a Chaffinch was around the
island calling all day.
The Ringed Plovers (52) roosted at the north end with the Purple Sandpipers (11) and a couple of hundred of the Dunlin (out of 650 today), as often happens on the very high tides.
While the 8,600 Oystercatchers were mostly on Middle.
Other waders today were 127 Grey Plover, 110 Turnstone and 89 Redshank.
Small wintering birds included 5 Wrens.
There was a good count today of 347 pale and 2 dark-bellied Brent. The Shag was still about with 18 Scoters on the sea. The Kestrel was again about the island, as were 3 Grey Herons but no Egrets.
