Goldcrest in the pines on the way out.  Good numbers of Sanderling, Dunlin and Ringed Plover with large flocks of Oystercatcher and Turnstone.  Skylarks singing. One dead Kiitiwake on beach unfortunately.  Very large numbers of Brent Geese from the hide with at least 20 Eider.  The Eider were in small groups and diving regularly making counting them tricky.  Stonechats on the way back.
