Weather: SSW force 7 drizzle later
A wind chill from a south westerly force 7 made it feel like below freezing at times but a glorious sunrise greeted Obs members this morning.
Most waders sheltered in the east gutter including 8 Grey Plover feeding below the Obs.
At least 6000 Herring Gull gathered on the West Hoyle bank but no sign of any white winged Glaucous or Iceland gulls in a search amongst them. Eight hundred Cormorant had exited the estuary at dawn. Not many waders could be seen at low tide, although there were 120 Redshank and some Ringed Plover, Turnstone and Curlew.
The only passerines of note were the
female Chaffinch that has been around a few days now, 2 Rock Pipit and a single
Meadow Pipit.
