The stiff NW wind held up wader migration with the good numbers last night spending the day feeding up on the estuary. Minimum counts over the evening high tide included 510 Dunlin, 224 Sanderling and 92 Ringed Plover.
Also present in the estuary, 31 Whimbrel, 13 Turnstone, six Grey Plover, two Knot, two Greenshank and a Bar-tailed Godwit.
Elsewhere 28 Black-headed Gull, five Sandwich Tern and the female Eider were offshore, the latter often by groyne 11.
