The expected increase in waders now the higher tide floods the sandbanks off Exmouth with 28 Oystercatcher, 18 Curlew, three Grey Plover, two Sanderling and a Knot in the estuary.
Offshore the female Eider was off Langstone, with 25 Manx Shearwater in the bay plus many others on the blurry horizon, eight Black-headed and an adult Mediterranean Gull, six Sandwich Tern and a Great Northern Diver.
Elsewhere a Stock Dove landed on Warren Point, 68 Starling, a mix of adults and juveniles, in Greenland Lake and a fledged brood of Rock Pipit on the seawall.

Other Wildlife: At least half a dozen Painted Lady and Red Admiral hinted at migration, although the latter maybe locally bred, along with the fresh Comma also on the wing.
