Hi Jason. For sewatching at Holme at this time of year there are really three key spots.
The first is the golf-course. From the carpark near the Public toliets follow the footpath to the dune edge and watch from here.
The second is Gore Point. From the carparking area near the wooden five-bar gate along the track walk right until you reach a good vantage point along the coastal footpath (wooden boardwalk).
The third is in anywhere in front of the pines. My favoured area is in front of the NOA in a small dip but anywhere should suffice.
The first two tend to be better for Long-tailed Ducks and other sea-ducks such as Scaups, while in front of the pines seems better for Divers and Grebes, as well as stuff such as Fulmars and Kittiwakes, although there is ,as you would expect, some variation. Tide is crucial at this site, while early mornings seem much better for the L T Ducks.
By putting in half and hour or more at each spot should see you right, with other stuff such as Snow Buntings a possible bonus.
