A juvenile Little Ringed Plover in The Bight was the pick of the waders over high tide, feeding with single Dunlin and Ringed Plover. Other counts included 178 Curlew, 41 Redshank, five Whimbrel, four Bar and a Black-tailed Godwit, three Greenshank and two Grey Plover.
Also in the estuary 20 Mediterranean Gull (15 ad, four juvs & a 2cy), 16 Sandwich Tern (seven juvs) and a Little Grebe.
The stiff offshore breeze meant there was little in the bay with the majority of the c.50 Manx Shearwater distantly on the horizon, with 12 Common Scoter, five Gannet and two adult Mediterranean Gull.
