Weather: ESE force 1
A flock of 40 Pink-footed Geese headed north east out of the estuary before dawn, 450 Brent Geese were about the islands and amongst them was a Dark Bellied bird.
The 5 Eider are still present and a Red-breasted Merganser was in the lagoon then headed north in the Swash after tide.
On the sea 9 Great Crested Grebe and 13 Red-throated Diver were noted, also 4 Teal off the North End.
It was good to see that the Purple Sandpiper count had increased to 20, the last count to have as many as 20 was 2013. Hoping our wintering flock may have stabilised after a long period of decline.
The Dunnock is still on the island, a Siskin flew over and a solitary Linnet spent some time in the Obs garden calling
