A good sized roving tit flock was mobile around the various areas of woodland, with 20 Blue, 14 Long-tailed and six Great Tit joined by at least twelve Chiffchaff, four Goldcrest and a Great Spotted Woodpecker. A Firecrest remained separate, favouring the Back Meadow side of the Main Pond, where the elusive Cetti's Warbler gave a brief burst of subsong.
Elsewhere eight Eider remained offshore, four Golden Plover were new arrivals in The Bight and 140 Dunlin, 40 Ringed Plover and two Pintail were amongst the other waders and wildfowl in the estuary.
Other Wildlife: The warm and sunny weather re-energised the insects with numerous Common Wasp on the remaining Ivy flowers with a couple of Ivy Bee, Yellow Dung Fly Scaphophaga stercoraria and the hoverflies Pale-knobbed Lucent Didea fasciata and Humming Syrphus S. ribesii.
