A seawatch 0850-1030 saw northerly passage of 4 Gannets, one Cormorant and 2 Red-throated Divers.   To the south were 200 Herring Gulls, 40 Great Black-backs, 10 Cormorants, 2 auks, one Great Skua and 6 Whooper Swans.  On the tide-line were 34 Sanderlings, one Dunlin, 98 Curlews, 74 Oystercatchers and 4 Bar-tailed Godwits.   5 Skylarks and 2 Rock Pipits came in from the sea.   As I walked back to the dunes at 1030, a party of 12 Goosanders flew north over the mudflats and these birds must be those recorded heading north by GW at Saltfleet Haven.

         The dunes were generally quiet with 10 Blackbirds, 2 Redwings, 5 Robins, one Stonechat and one Great Spotted Woodpecker.   On the flashes there were 9 Teal, 2 Little Grebes, one Grey Wagtail and one Kingfisher.   On the fields and delf were 3 Little Egrets, 3 Grey Herons, 400 Golden Plovers and 30 Lapwings.
