A visit for the afternoon high tide saw 139 Shelduck, most in The Bight with 40 Knot and 38 Ringed Plover also present, although a Peregrine hampered other wader counts.
Elsewhere four Great Northern Diver and the three Eider were offshore, a Golden Plover called overhead with two Chiffchaff and single Green Woodpecker and Siskin in the bushes.
Year list additions:
77. Golden Plover
78. Grey Wagtail
79. Jack Snipe
80. Lesser Black-backed Gull
81. Siskin
Other Wildlife: A long-dead Mirror Carp was an unexpected tideline discovery, a first record for the Warren. Although they can occur in estuaries it was likely washed down river once deceased, so not added to the site audit.
