Weather: ESE force 1
An early start was made on a cold morning.
The low tide meant waders were feeding on the shore soon after dawn.
During the early light about about a thousand Pink-footed Geese flew out of the estuary. At the north end 3 Goosanders (one male) spent an hour feeding and preening.
Other waders included 1,500 Knot, 62 Sanderling, 3 Purple Sandpiper, 40 Turnstone and 20 Curlew, one of which was the German ringed bird hanging around the west side which has been seen here frequently.
Six Bar-tailed Godwits were also here and made a fly-past
A Song Thrush and 2 of our colour ringed Rock Pipits are staying with us at the moment.
A single Grey Heron fed but no Little Egrets joined it on the shore.
Spring cannot be far away, Daffodils on the island are already starting to come into flower.
