13th December 2011

2,000 Cormorants were counted today no doubt the continuing gales is having an impact on their numbers in the estuary. Sadly the gales produced one casualty found on the East Hoyle sandbank in the evening - a dead Great Northern Diver. A single Peregrine battled against the wind but it was generally a quiet day but 3 Red-throated Divers, a single Gannet, 60 Common Scoter and 4 Guillemot were also seen. A single Little Egret was again present.
