The highlight came late in the day with a Red-necked Grebe in the lower estuary and later offshore, the first since 11 March 2023. Also offshore eight Great Crested Grebe, three Eider, three Great Northern and a Red-throated Diver.
Elsewhere a fourth Great Northern Diver and three Greenshank were in the estuary at low tide, the Siberian Chiffchaff and three Chiffchaff around the bushes, six Shoveler and a Kingfisher at the Main Pond and two Lesser Redpoll in Dead Dolphin Wood.

Other Wildlife: Despite the welcome return of some sunshine very few insects were out, with none on the planted Hebe. An early Limonia nubeculosa was resting on one of the beach huts and a couple of 7- spot Ladybird were on Gorse. |
