On Conder Pool there was nothing of note, but a Sparrowhawk flew across the pool and landed on one of the posts, but it instantly took off and flew east. In the creeks as the tide was rising, a lone Black-tailed Godwit, 2 Snipe, and a Little Egret to note.
As I drove towards Cockersand, c.250 Golden Plover were in the field west of Lambs Farm with a small number of Lapwing.
Fourteen Turnstone were turning over the shingle and tidewrack by Bank House Farm, and 22 Greenfinch was a good count, I don't recall the last time I had a double figure count of this finch which is found on the Red List and as a declining breeding resident in our recording area.
In fields off Moss/Slack Lane, at least 4,000 Pink-footed Geese were accompanied by 4 Barnacle Geese.

Little Egret Plover Scar. Pete Woodruff.
In an attempt to add some life to B2B, I photographed a Little Egret with Plover Scar to itself feeding on small fry in a tidal pool, and noted 3 Cormorant roosting on Plover Scar Lighthouse.
Cockersand Records.
Having the elusive Snow Bunting in mind, I'm bound to report some excellent records at Cockersand Saturday 14 November....LDBWS WhatsApp
A Red-throated Diver was off Plover Scar, and 3 Russian White-fronted Geese were in a field by Cockersand Abbey Farm....
.... and a Snow Bunting - yes a Snow Bunting - was on the shore below Lighthouse Cottage....Well how rich is that ! 😡
And Finally.
There's been a couple of splendid opportunities for a sunrise and sunset from our windows this week.
