The Long-billed Dowitcher remained in the estuary corner (no general access) with 87 Dunlin, 62 Ringed Plover, eight Sanderling and six Sandwich Tern around The Bight.
Elsewhere the first Jay of the year noisily moved through the bushes around the Main Pond and Dead Dolphin Wood, seven Eider and a Red-throated Diver were offshore with 11 Chiffchaff and single Blackcap and Goldcrest on site.
Year list addition:

Other Wildlife: Into October and insects are still on the move with a "new in" Hummingbird Hawkmoth nectaring on Sea Rocket along the beach with at least five Red Admiral passing through with a few Small White. A Locust Blowfly Stomorhina lunata on Michaelmas Daisy in Greenland Lake added to the migrants.
