A quick look around before the fog rolled in saw the Brent still at about 150 (photographed left with both colour ringed birds together,[click to enlarge]), just 4 each of Great Crested Grebes and Red-breasted Mergansers, 2 Red-throated Divers and 5 Grey Herons.
Six Meadow Pipits and 3 Linnets were more than of late, they may possibly be breeding birds returning early to inspect the island.
The low tide early morning at this time of the cycle was a good opportunity to see the build up of the honeycomb worm (sabellaria alveolata) reef at the bottom of the tide gauge (right).
