This was our final site of the day and to be honest our most productive, at least count wise. The tide had just turned and the shore line mud was just being revealed again, so the birds were gathering quite close to start feeding.
Waders included Knot, Grey Plover, Ringed Plover, Dunlin & Oystercatcher. Amongst the wildfowl there were Brent Geese, Wigeon and Shelduck, then our in the estuary we saw a Slavonian Grebe, several Great-crested Grebes & Merganser.
Life bird count: 389 Year bird count: 115 Month bird count: 89
