Weather: NNW force 3, force 4/5 in the afternoon.
The very high tide forced about 100 dunlin came to roost at north end along with half dozen ringed plover.
The tide may also had something to do with the Grey Heron feeding around the island pond.
About 3,000 Oystercatchers stayed around the islands at high tide.
Some other wader counts today were 81 Curlew, 90 Turnstone, 400 Dunlin, 42 Redshank and 5 Purple Sandpipers. Sea birds seen were 36 Scoter and 6 Great Crested Grebes. Very few 'special birds' to see today apart from 9 Eider but the big tide pushed up further by the wind created seascapes worth watching.
