The pools were pretty well covered with ice this morning, so no birds there apart from two Crows enjoying a big fat mullet which had somehow got stranded on the ice. However there was plenty on the river and on the shore - at least 100 Teal, some on the sea and many tucked up under a bank of the river, 2 Greenshanks, 2 Grey Plovers, 100 Curlew, 25 or so Ringed Plovers (which flushed from the stony beach - we hadn't seen them at all), a good number of Redshank, 11 Brent Geese, 10 Wigeon, 2 Shelduck and 10 Goldeneye. And something I have never seen before - frozen sea foam on the beach.
