Latest Sightings - 28th November
Wet and wild this morning, but the birds are all still here and we could be due for quite a spectacular high tide (if we can see it).
Drake Green-winged Teal still on the Folly Pond, and the drake Ring-necked Duck is on the Whooper Pond along with the female Greater Scaup.
Today's high tide is at 13:36 9.6m - and with this wind it could come in quite far, bringing good numbers of birds with it. The tricky part will be seeing them through the rain.

Barnacle Geese: 5000 - including 1 hybrid
