No improvement on the sea this morning, though I'm confident things will improve next week, I can but hope.

07.45-09.00 from the hide with RW,

Brent Goose: 13E

Common Scoter: 2E

Great-crested Grebe: 47 on

Oystercatcher: 1E

Turnstone: 1 on

Kittiwake: 6E      3W 

Guillemot: 22E    4W        5 on

Auk sp: 36E     14W

Red-throated Diver: 16E   3W    3 on

Gannet: 61E    11W 

Cormorant: 91E

Harbour Porpoise: 1

All the usual suspects are still around, though it would appear that the Ibis's are down to 2 birds, unless you know better. Bitterns, Bearded Tits and Crests seem to be slightly showier at the moment.

Common Buzzard at Cockles Bridge

Stoats seem to be appearing everywhere I wander, this one on the track to Hanson.

Great White Egret at Dengemarsh

Greater White-fronted Goose at Dengemarsh, the only wild goose on the peninsula.
