The post high tide build up of Sandwich Tern peaked at 138 with a substantial increase of at least 58 juveniles, hopefully a sign of a good breeding season. Also around The Bight seven Common Tern (three juveniles), seven Dunlin, six Ringed and a Grey Plover, four Bar-tailed Godwit and four Sanderling.

Other Wildlife: A welcome change in the weather, even including a few scattered showers, the conditions reducing insect activity, although the usual hoverflies and bees were active, with the strong breeze and swaying flowers keeping them mainly on the move.
