Wed 25th Nov 20

All very much the same again this morning, a small amount of Cormorants moving south offshore and 40+ Wigeon sitting on the sea, also a bit of Brent movement along the marsh with a group of 40+ heading first south and then back north plus several small groups throughout the morning. The Greylag flock (with all it's hybrids) was on the marsh north of the approach road along with a Lt. Egret. 

3 Purple Sandpipers were on the sluice (7 on rocks between the sluice & Chevaux de frise Point later in the morning TC) and 5 Turnstone in with the gulls on the sluice rocks.
