An early Saturday (27/1) morning walk at high tide along the Sully coast path included sightings on Sully Island of 10 Brent Geese (8 pale-bellied, 2 dark-bellied), 9 Curlew, c. 60 small waders (mostly Dunlin, but with a few Ringed Plover), 8 Turnstone and 77 Oystercatcher. Another 25 Turnstone and 4 Ringed Plover were on Sully beach near Burnham Avenue beach car park.

Later, after drawing a blank on a couple of previous visits, finally got to see the male Black Redstart at Porth Teigr. On to nearby Heliport Bay for a brief look (the tide was halfway out by now) and saw distantly 3 Pintail, 5 Shoveler and 2 Curlew along with Shelduck, Dunlin and Redshank.
