Low cloud saw an increase in visible migration overhead with many birds dropping in briefly before continuing east. Siskin was the main mover, with over 250 passing in small groups of up to 40 during the morning, also through c40 Goldfinch, 15 Swallow and smaller numbers of Meadow Pipit, Skylark and Chaffinch, with a Great Spotted Woodpecker turning back west high over The Bight.
On site a roving tit flock held single Coal Tit and Firecrest, at least eight Chiffchaff and two Goldcrest with a Kingfisher at the Main Pond.
A low high tide saw reduced counts in the estuary with 61 Dark and two Pale-bellied Brent Goose, 60 Dunlin, 53 Ringed and 12 Grey Plover, 17 Knot, three Bar-tailed Godwit, three Sandwich Tern, a Kingfisher and a Whimbrel present, with 11 Greenshank, a Great Crested Grebe and a 1cy Yellow-legged Gull at low tide.
Elsewhere the 10 Eider remain offshore.
Other Wildlife: A Vagrant Emperor was reported from Warren Point, continuing the biennial pattern of records since 2019.
