The immature Merlin was again around Bight early morning, unsuccessfully chasing a Kingfisher which evaded capture by repeatedly dropping into the water and flying amongst swimming wildfowl.
Counts from the morning high tide included 357 Curlew, 28 Bar-tailed Godwit, 87 Dunlin, 74 Great Black-backed and three Mediterranean Gull, the seven Eider, four Pale-bellied Brent Geese, four Sanderling, threes of Grey Plover, Knot and Sandwich Tern and a female Pintail.
Other records included 10 Meadow Pipit and a Chaffinch in the dunes, a flock of 11 Cattle Egret that flew in from the north before foraging for a while on the Golf Course and a Spoonbill was on Bull Hill, a 2cy/ad so different to yesterday's bird.
Other Wildlife: A Vestal, two Rush Veneer and a Rusty-dot Pearl were flushed from the wet vegetation.
