Janet checked from the shore a little later

I took this from the Barrows, there is a white ringed Oystercatcher in the
centre near the water line but obviously too far off to be able to read.

The Brent geese were still around

Buff-tailed Bumblebee 

Heliport

A check at high water saw 1,600 Knot on the sloping wall. Unfortunately surrounded by Oystercatcher.
