The first Willow Warbler of the year was singing in the Entrance Bushes this morning, but the only other fresh passerine migrant was a single Wheatear on Warren Point. In the estuary migration was more obvious with counts included 96 Grey Plover, 56 Knot, 48 Dunlin, 18 Bar-tailed Godwit, 11 Sanderling, four Sandwich Tern and a Whimbrel. Elsewhere the Jack Snipe continues to attract visitors to the Main Pond.
