24th December 2011

Christmas eve produced 2 flocks of Pintail, 43 flying south and later 105 south west, and travelling in the same direction 5 Wigeon. Four Golden Plover was a good find at this time, but a less pleasant sight were an oiled Gillemot and Common Scoter found dead on the shore.Purple Sandpipers were counted at 18, while watching the north shore produced 10,000 Knot and 400 Bar-tailed Godwits.
