Seawatching early morning saw at least 50 Manx Shearwater offshore circling the bay, but the lack of wind presumably accounted for the lack of Balearic despite the numbers further south.
Counts from the mid afternoon tide included 296 Oystercatcher, 144 Sandwich Tern (50 juvs), 134 Redshank, 32 Whimbrel, 20 Sanderling, 17 Mediterranean Gull, 11 Dunlin, 11 Greenshank, eight Ringed and a Grey Plover, eight Shelduck, five Bar and a Black-tailed Godwit, four Turnstone, three Common Sandpiper, a Common Tern and a juvenile Yellow-legged Gull.
Other Wildlife: The female Grey Seal was on Bull Hill on the dropping tide.
