An evening visit with Mark Johnson was made for the high tide between Stonebridge and Pye's Hall, and also part of the realignment area. Waders were 700 Oystercatchers, 100 Golden Plovers, 54 Grey Plovers, 6 Ringed Plovers, 7 Little Ringed Plovers, 135 Redshanks, 10 Greenshanks, 6 Avocets, 57 Curlews, 7 Whimbrels, 200 Dunlin, 3 Knot, 80 Sanderlings, 2 Common Snipe, Common Sandpiper and 2 Green Sandpipers.
Terns were displaced by the tide from their roosting site at Horseshoe Point and instead were forced to roost quite close to Pye's Hall.

Also of note were 10 Cormorants, 11 Little Egrets, 22 Shelducks, 22 Teal, Brent Goose, Mediterranean Gull, Sparrowhawk, Wheatear and Whinchat.
