1,595 Cormorant went out fishing with 1,350 of these an hour later than the early risers so obviously not roosting nearby. Southbound 33 Shelduck, 4 Red-throated Diver, 2 Brent & 2 Razorbill with northbound 73 Red-throats & 8 Brent plus a dozen Kitts & a Gannet offshore. On site a very predictable selection including 2 Mipit & a Cetti's. 2 Collared Dove were the first of the month (following on from only two November records) as the decline in this species, that a lot of people take for granted, continues.
