On a low high tide two brick-red Curlew Sandpiper were the pick of the few waders, although they didn't linger, part of several small flocks that visited the beach or Bight before being disturbed on a very sunny and busy bank holiday weekend. Minimum counts of other species included 38 Dunlin, 33 Sanderling, 16 Ringed Plover, 12 Whimbrel, 10 Curlew, nine Turnstone, five Grey Plover and two Knot.
Offshore the female Eider, three Black-headed Gull, two Sandwich Tern and a Common Scoter tried to dodge the many boast and paddle-boarders.
