Wednesday 31st August

Single Curlew Sandpiper and Little Stint were still in the Bight along with 401 Dunlin, 100+ Ringed Plover, 35+ Knot and 12 Sanderling. Also in the estuary off Cockwood the Slavonian Grebe, 130+ Redshank, two Greenshank and a Common Sandpiper. A Spotted Redshank was also reported from here but it is not known if it was inside the recording area boundary, if so it would be the first of the year. Elsewhere four Grey Wagtail were overhead, two Wheatear were on site and the Coal Tit was still present.
