Pleasant morning following yesterdays deluge. A tight flock of 50 ish Common Scoter diving & feeding not to far offshore just to the north of us was the best count of the winter by a long way. Southbound 2 Brent, Oyk & Shelduck whilst trying to count the Scoter. 18 Sanderling & 7 Ringo on the beach, 3 Snow Bunting present & accounted for plus an elusive overwintering Firecrest was seen on the reserve.
