Cold easterly wind. Just 70 Cormorants noted going out fishing early morning as many will now have moved back to the breeding sites on the continent. An hours sea watching before the sun got in the way produced southbound 4 Brent & Common Scoter with northbound 6 Gannet, 3 Kitts, Red-throated Diver & a fine adult Yellow-legged Gull. A brisk walk around the reserve produced a couple of Ringed Plover but what little else was out there was obviously keeping tucked up in the vegetation out of the wind chill as next to nothing was seen.
