Spent two day there on 27-28 December.
The pier was a great location! (It is 1 1/4 miles long!)
3 Red-throated Divers less that 20ft (6m) away,
Purple Sandpiper on slipway.
Turnstones roosting even closer,
3 Med Gulls - taking bread at your feet!
Oystercatchers and Brent Geese (Dark) flying inches over your head.
And the best of all - 'Rossi' the Ring-billed Gull showed well with his mates (Mainly Herring Gulls), also taking bread (off the water).
The only birds I did not take to were the 'Essex Birds' !
