Here are some selected peak bird counts from February's Wetland Bird Survey across Lindisfarne NNR:
Greylag goose 250
Barnacle goose 210
Light-bellied brent goose 904
Shelduck 756
Wigeon 552
Eider 409
Long-tailed duck 17

Wintering birds can still be seen on the Reserve but in much smaller numbers now. Budle Bay and the hide at Fenham-Le-Moor are both excellent birdwatching sites where you may be lucky enough to see some remaining wintering wildfowl.
