8th December 2021

 Weather: W force 8/9

 A gale force winds day with rain, the sort of conditions a couple of months ago would have made goos sea watching, but today just a single Red-throated Diver was logged. Brent included 3 dark-bellied birds among the 331 logged, there were 220 Cormorants seen and a single Shag off the north end. Waders were as follows: 6,000 Oystercatchers, 16 Grey Plover, 38 Ringed Plover, 85 Curlew, 153 Turnstone, 18 Sanderling, 120 Dunlin, 49 Redshank and 5 Purple Sandpipers.
