The first two Sand Martin of the year flew in off the sea this morning, with 10 Lesser Black-backed Gull and a highflying Grey Heron also on the move north; a male Wheatear in front of the hide was further evidence of the changing seasons.
Counts from the estuary included 201 Dunlin, 95 Dark-bellied and a Pale-bellied Brent Goose, 70 Knot, 40 Snipe, 30 Turnstone, three Sanderling and single Slavonian Grebe, Lapwing and Golden Plover. Elsewhere three Great Northern Diver were off John's Watch, two Red-throated Diver were off the seawall and two Siskin, a Jay and a Redwing were in the Entrance Bushes.
