It was good to see that most of the Golden Plover had roosted overnight and headed off north throughout the morning seemingly fit and well. Bird of the day was a Spotted Redshank and only the 3rd I've seen on the Otter, the previous birds in Sep 2011 and Nov 2012. Today's bird was also present yesterday but I only saw it very distantly and briefly to be certain of the id. Of note for the Otter were a Knot (Thanks Peter) and the 5 Pintail still.
Other birds included:
Wigeon 180+
Teal 50+
Shoveler 1 male
Lapwing 4
Golden Plover only 25 by the evening
Dunlin 27
