About 100mins starring out to sea up to 10am produced some southerly movement including 74 Teal, 34 Wigeon, 22 Red-throats, 6 Goldeneye, 6 Dunlin, 4 Great-crests & 3 Common Scoter. Obviously a few Blackies still trickling in for the winter as 4 birds came off the reserve & towered off inland over the docks. A Skylark on the reserve also went inland over the docks when disturbed. Apart from this the only other sign of migration was a Siskin heard but not seen. Finally a Sanderling was on the beach near the point.
