Friday 7th July

There is no access to the hide or Warren Point for the next couple of weeks. The highlight was a site record count of 27 Mediterranean Gull, continuing the late summer influxes of recent years; 24 of these came in off the sea in just three flocks. The breakdown was 14 adult, seven second-summer, two first-summer and four juveniles. Other counts included 297 Curlew, 65 Redshank, eight Bar-tailed Godwit, six Whimbrel and singles of Little Ringed and Ringed Plover, Dunlin, Knot and Greenshank.
