Grim morning due to rain & poor visibility. 600 Cormorant headed out fishing early on. Southbound 50 Shelduck, 30 Brent, 6 Red-throated Diver, 5 Gadwal, 2 Common Gull, 2 Dunlin & Red-breasted Merganser with northbound 2 Common Scoter & Red-throat. At least 6 Fieldfare & 5 Redwing are on site plus 2 Lapwing putting in an appearance mid-morning. No enthusiasm to wander around the reserve in these conditions.
