    Nil Count (No birds present) 0There were CWAC species present
    Notes The boundaries of this count have extended to a certain extent to fall into line with the suggested marine reserve which would continue round to Kleinemonde West river mouth but the last section is poor for birds, so not included. West end and East end. It is likely that the small Waders were still hiding in the dune slacks somewhere
