Great-northern Diver came in off & headed for the River Stour and 386 Golden Plover headed south offshore, both not for the first time recently. Although the Diver alternating between fishing offshore and up river is easily explained we are still at a loss when it comes to working out what the Golden Plover are up to. Also this morning southbound 88 Kitts, 13 Shelduck, 7 Wigeon, 4 Teal, 3 Brent, 2 Shag, 2 Oyk, Red-throated Diver, Fulmar, Red-breasted Merganser & Grey plover plus north bound 5 Brent & an Oyk. Presumably the 2 Shag are looking for shelter somewhere and these plus the Fulmar are firsts of the year.
