The highlight was confirmation of the first breeding record of Tufted Duck for the Warren, the ♀ appearing with two small chicks on the Main Pond. Elsewhere the first fledged Whitethroat was on the wing.

An Osprey hunted over The Bight and estuary corner late morning , before returning back towards Powderham, where it has been since Friday. Also in the estuary the six Eider and counts of 70 Sanderling, eight Ringed Plover, six Dunlin and three Bar-tailed Godwit.
A summer plumaged Great Northern Diver was offshore, with five Manx Shearwater, four Sandwich Tern and a Great Crested Grebe; and a Cuckoo was again on Warren Point, this time a ♀.
