13th – Last evening’s high tide:

Whimbrel (124), Dunlin (41), Ringed Plover (22), Oystercatcher (5), Grey Plover (2) & Curlew (1).

Swallow (c50), House Martin (c10), Shelduck (35), B-h Gull (11), Little Egret (2), Peregrine (1) & Cetti’s Wbr. (H).

Good passage of Whimbrel from the wharf last night evening, best total I have had there and most in that area since 6/09/1987 [RM]. Seawatching was poor despite the excellent visibility, just Herring/LBB gulls and one Grey Heron crossing the channel.
