Splash Point 9/3/14

Ideal conditions this morning with a SE breeze, sunny conditions and a layer of mist a couple of miles out. The passage was rather slow unfortunately, but it was just pleasant sitting around in mild conditions. Totals between 6.15-9.30 are:

Brent Geese - 237
Common Scoter - 131
Razorbill - 4
Gannet - 11
Teal - 26
Tufted Duck - 3
Red-throated Diver - 14
Gadwall - 2
Shelduck - 4
Shoveler - 10
Pintail - 14
Mallard - 2
Mediterranean Gull - 6

No sign of the Spoonbill or White-fronted Geese down the Cuckmere afterwards, though I wasn't looking that intently.
