Slightly late posting. On this morning’s very high tide, driven by WNW winds gusting force 10, waves breached the sea defences around the End Hide and re-distributed all the heavy driftwood on the strandline over onto the marsh. Very spectacular. Disappointingly no petrels or shearwaters but:
Arctic Skua 8
Common Tern 56
Kittiwake c.130
Sanderling c.90
Black-tailed Godwit 5
Bar-tailed Godwit 1
Ringed Plover 20
Turnstone 11
Knot 14
Pintail 2
Swallow 2
Please note that because of repeated ingress of the tides, the End Hide can be reached only with wellies/waders that reach above the knees. Or of course you could go barefoot and in shorts 😊 .
