Brents still obliging

A fresh west wind veered to the north after lunch. By evening the wind had dropped to almost nothing. Heavy and regular showers all day.

A walk along the sea wall on the rising tide.

The Brent geese flew from the north side to Red Nab at 09:50. They didn't stay long on Red Nab as they had already moved on when I walked back. There is more sea lettuce high up the shore towards Potts corner, and only gutweed on Red Nab.

All six flew together, but still appeared to be two sub groups of 
two Pale-bellied with one dark bellied

Shelduck just 7 resting on the mud

Wigeon 180+

Little Egret 4
