Great numbers Jim
I wonder if the female Eider is the one we have seen regularly in the basin just off the Pyewipe hide area.

Between them, I reckon there were 6,000-plus shorebirds - dunlin, knot, grey plover and godwit - at the Cleethorpes outer beach hight tide roost at 10am today.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were at least 3,000 oystercatchers.

I also counted  c 150 very noisy curlew, 6 Brent geese, 10 cormorants. 

A surprise was the single duck - provisionally identified as  a female eider  - that waddled off the beach into the sea.
