         A seawatch from 0830-1030 (high tide at 0830) saw northerly movement of 44 Common Terns, one Arctic Tern, 70 Sandwich Terns, one Black Tern, 47 Gannets, 2 Fulmars, one Sooty Shearwater, 3 Arctic Skuas, one Great Skua, one Great Crested Grebe, 11 Teal, 5 Shelducks, 4 Common Scoters and 2 auks.    To the south were 5 Black Terns, 5 Gannets and 2 Eiders.

         At least 30 Cormorants were present, while 4 Lesser Black-backed Gulls and 1,500 Black-headed Gulls were on the flooded outmarsh.    Wader numbers were low on this piece of the coast, hence 14 Redshanks, 25 Oystercatchers, 93 Curlews, 5 Whimbrels, 50 Knot, 90 Dunlin, 4 Grey Plovers and 4 Ruffs.

         170 Swallows and a Peregrine flew north and a further 30 Swallows were over the flashes where there were 9 Little Egrets, one Grey Heron, 4 Coots, 4 Little Grebes, 5 Greenshanks and a Common Sandpiper.   6 Kestrels and a Common Buzzard were over the dunes.
