Pale-bellied Brent goose 26 - No sign of any Brent geese on both the north and south side feeding areas when you would normally expect them. But 26 flew past the Heliport and ended up at Potts Corner.

Red-throated diver 1 distant on incoming tide (Pete)
Shag 1 at least on the wooden jetty towards high water.
