Light winds and warm, sunny weather prompted a substantial southerly wader movement. Sixty Black-tailed Godwits was a very significant local tally, together with 11 Knot, 73 Dunlin, 20 Whimbrel and 157 Redshank. Additional seawatch records included three Great Crested Grebes flying north and 129 Sandwich Terns doing the same.
Thornwick Pool attracted a Little Egret, Grey Heron, Dunlin and Snipe. Elsewhere, there were between 400-500 Common Scoters off South Landing, a Marsh Harrier over North Marsh, with three more at Buckton, and a Grey Wagtail.
A Red-veined Darter was on a small pool on the Outer Head, south of Head Farm Pond.
