A rather cold watch this morning even in the relative comfort of the hide.

Great Crested Grebe: 23E   14 Present
Oystercatcher: 2E
Kittiwake: 17E
Common Gull: present
Herring Gull: present
Great Black-backed Gull: present 
Guillemot: 645E including an individual with completely white wings that caused momentary excitement. 
Razorbill: 20E 
Auk sp: 2738E 
Red-throated Diver: 378E   
Gannet: 604E 
Cormorant: 2,000+ present
Grey Seal: 2 present

3 Caspian Gulls together 2w, 3w & 1w from Dennis's
2w Caspian Gull & 1w sporting a German yellow colour ring
I went no further than Dennis's Hide as there were not many Gulls with islands covered in Cormorants, also the bitter wind deterred me. The Great Northern Diver was still present at the far NE end of Burrowes along several Goldeneye.
 There are still at least 12 Bewick Swans and 2 Whooper Swans still on Walland per DB.
