Tues 17th Jan 23

Very cold this morning but nice and bright, a look round from the chippings layby showed that the Whooper Swans were still around now in their third week, also 8 Mute Swans, c30 Greylags, 4 Canada Geese, 3 Grey Heron, Teal, Mallard, 175 Lapwing and loads of Gulls and Corvids.

Quiet offshore with just a few R T Divers, 30+ Wigeon and c300 Brent sitting on the sea, 6 Turnstone were on the sluice rocks, 3 Purple Sands on French Point rocks and 12 Curlew out on the marsh. The Brent were feeding on the fields near the tennis club and the scrape was frozen and deserted. MR
