A morning of wader migration headlined by a very brief summer plumaged American Golden Plover on Finger Point before it headed high NW up the estuary just before 6am, the third site record. Unfortunately news was not shared with other observers on site, or around the Exe, for several hours.
Waders were arriving in off throughout the early morning high tide with counts including 147 Sanderling, 65 Dunlin, 29 Ringed Plover, 12 Bar-tailed Godwit, 11 Whimbrel, four Turnstone and a Grey Plover.
Elsewhere 11 Common Scoter, three Great Northern Diver, a Sandwich Tern and a 3cy Mediterranean Gull were offshore
Other Wildlife: At least two Common Dolphin were offshore.
