At high tide today there were about 400 Dunlin out on the pools along with about 300 each of Lapwing and Golden Plover. Plenty of Lapwing song and tumbling in the sunshine first thing too! Only two Curlew seem to be left now but Snipe are everywhere and the four Ruff were out on Wennington again. A few Redshank came in too along with four dozing Grey Plovers. I had high hopes of a Wheatear today and spent the day scanning rond to no avail. Back to grot and rain tomorrow but I will be on on reception again and will keep up the hunt....

The Black Redstarts were still at the end of Ferry Lane and both female and imm male Marsh Harriers were seen.
