Tues 28th Nov 23

Bright but very cold this morning, nice when you were in the sunshine.

150+ Greylag, 20+ Canada Geese were on the marsh below the carpark first thing with lots of gulls and 2 Curlew. Offshore was very quiet again with just 12 Brent sitting on the sea off French Point and a further 60+ off the raised tee. Purple Sandpiper numbers had increased to 6 south of French Point, being chased up the seawall by the swells from a big tide just before high water.

Around the scrape: c200 Teal, c30 Wigeon, 4 Shoveler, 2 Shelduck, 2 Avocet, 1 Blk. T Godwit, 4 Snipe (over), 1 Cetti's Warbler, 2 Buzzard, 1 Peregrine (juv. on arable), 1 Kestrel. MR et.al. Plus 1 Chinese Water Deer.
