Weather: NNW force 4. rain
A late afternoon visit in the rain which had been falling all day was to record details from the island for the Winter gull survey. For those that are gull fans the results were as follows: Herring Gull 600, Black-headed Gull 454, Common Gull 71, Great Black-backed Gull 37, Lesser Black-backed Gull 17. Birds seen incidentally were 7 Goosander, a Goldcrest, 2 Swallows, 4 Bar-tailed Godwits, 22 Ringed Plover, a Grey Plover, 150 Knot, 8 Dunlin. Good counts of 182 Brent were made.
Seventeen Little Egrets and 750 Shelduck were impressive.
A juvenile female Peregrine was the only raptor.
