Distant Pom put in an appearance as it drifted south into Essex was the only highlight from a poor selection of birds offshore with paltry totals of Brent 24N 19S, Shelduck 7N 1S, Wigeon 6S, Mallard 2N, Red-throated Diver 1N plus a handful of Cormorants coming & going. Mass of gulls about 5 miles out but as long as they stay out their it's no good to us. When you consider this is in nearly 2 hours then it shows the colder conditions ain't shifting anything.
