Still large numbers of Black-tailed Godwit present over the afternoon high tide with at least 700 packed into the saltmarsh along with a coupe of Avocet, with 220 Dark, including 18 juveniles, and a Pale-bellied Brent Geese in The Bight.
Offshore a roost of at least 1,210 Herring Gull in calm conditions with five Common Scoter, two Red-throated and two Great Northern Diver also on the sea.

Elsewhere the Cetti's Warbler gave a burst of song on the Golf Course, the Dartford Warbler briefly in gorse along the Back Path, four Chiffchaff and four Goldcrest were on site and a Kingfisher was checking out the floodwater around the Entrance Bushes.
Other Wildlife: This time of year, everything seems to be in miniature with the springtail Dicyrtomina ornata and the 2mm wide snail Paralaoma servilis found under wood.
