The high spring tide left few exposed roosting areas with Dunlin and other small waders almost constantly in the air, before eventually settling on Finger Point. A flock of 60 Black-tailed Godwit flew into the saltmarsh but didn't stay for long, other records included a single Pale-bellied with 390 Dark-bellied Brent Geese, 120 Bar-tailed Godwit, 60 Redshank, 37 Grey Plover, a Greenshank and an immature male Eider.
Elsewhere 12 Siskin and a Goldcrest were in the bushes, four Shoveler were on the Main Pond and single Common Scoter and Great Northern Diver were offshore.
Other Wildlife: A dry and bright morning saw the second butterfly species of the year on the wing, a Peacock. The Alexanders continue to attract good numbers of flies including Common Dronefly and a Marmalade Hoverfly.
