The first Sandwich Tern of the year was offshore early evening along with 49 Common Scoter, 28 Great Crested Grebe, the four Eider, three Great Northern and two Red-throated Diver.
Counts from the estuary included 296 Dark and a Pale-bellied Brent Geese, 181 Curlew, 137 Dunlin, 25 Grey Plover, 23 Knot, 22 Teal, 21 Sanderling, 18 Bar and the year's first Black-tailed Godwit, a smart breeding plumaged adult. The geese and Curlew counts were from roosting birds on the evening tide, there were fewer other waders than earlier in the day.
Elsewhere 42 Jackdaw flew north and five Chiffchaff and a Firecrest were around the Main Pond.
