The day's highlight was a fem/imm Kentish Plover found on the beach with Sanderling early morning and then promptly disappearing, before turning up with Ringed Plover and a second(!) on the mudflats mid evening. This rare migrant is a Warren speciality with over 100 records but is now considered a national rarity. Three of the five in the UK this year have been onsite!
