I didn't count anything but Golden Plover numbered easily in excess of 1000 and with the tide rising they were lifting and wheeling around, fabulous just to follow them with the binoculars. The highest sand banks were occupied by groups of larger Gulls, Herring and Great Black Backed.
Single Grey Plover and approximately 12 Knot were among the highlights. There were plenty of birds to look through though. Four Goldeneye were on the river above the wier towards The Butts.
A short check of the sea from Cliff House was unproductive apart from a single Red Throated Diver flying south between Coquet Island and the mainland.
