A Merlin was the highlight over the evening high tide, perched up on fencing on Warren Point. Its presence, along with a football being moved by waves along the shoreline of the main roost, kept the waders unsettled. The early start to fireworks in Exmouth then flushed all the wildfowl in The Bight.
