There was little of note at the south end this morning.   The best birds on the landward side were 3 Whooper Swans on the flashes and a Common Buzzard over the fields.   There was no sea passage during an hour spent on the tide-line, but birds onshore included 10 Cormorants, 250 Brent Geese, 650 Golden Plovers, one Grey Plover, 45 Sanderlings, 160 Dunlin, 18 Lapwings, 12 Redshanks, 31 Curlews and 61 Bar-tailed Godwits.

         Yesterday (25th), at Stonebridge in the continuous rain, there were 65 Twite, 350 Brent Geese, 20 Shelducks and 135 Lapwings.
