The low high tide saw just three Bar-tailed Godwit join the Oystercatcher roost in The Bight, with three Sandwich Tern offshore and a Nuthatch with a roaming tit flock in Dead Dolphin Wood.
Other Wildlife: The highlight was a new fly for the Recording Area, Thricops diaphanus, a distinctive woodland muscid found by the Main Pond. Other Diptera included several Little Snipe Fly Chrysopilus asiliformis and the dolichopid Medetera jacula.
