What a mess!   There are seals everywhere, including in the buckthorn, in the flashes and the grazing areas and inside the sea-bank.   All the targets and markers have been washed away and large sections have been bitten out of the dunes.   Two diesel generators, each the size of a 4x4 vehicle have been washed into the North Flash and up to now are not leaking.   I was unable to reach parts of my regular area and in consequence only recorded bits.   64 Brent Geese, 35 Lapwings, Heron, Little Egret, 4 Grey Partridges, 13 Twite and a Redwing.   Phil Espin at Pye's Hall recorded 20 Rock Pipits, 15 Lapland Buntings and a Hen Harrier.
