There is no access to the hide or Warren Point for the next couple of weeks. The Slavonian Grebe was off Cockwood with high tide counts including 341 Curlew, 285 Oystercatcher, 143 Redshank,  40 Sandwich Tern - a welcome increase, 21 Bar-tailed Godwit, 18 Whimbrel, 15 Dunlin, six Greenshank, five Mediterranean Gull and a Little Ringed Plover. Elsewhere the first Kingfisher of the autumn was in the saltmarsh and 73 Swift were overhead.
