A walk along the Sully coast starting just after sunrise coincided with a ‘high’ high tide at 12.2 metres, leaving just a narrow strip of beach for waders to use.
36 Turnstone and 3 Oystercatcher were on Sully beach near Burnham Avenue car park, and 4 Curlew and 11 Oystercatcher were further east on the playing fields. Sully Island held a single Grey Plover, 2 Turnstone, 3 Ringed Plover, 9 Dunlin (all on the rocks at the western tip), as well as 66 Oystercatcher, 3 Curlew, 4 Shelduck and a Cormorant. No sign of the recently present Brent Geese.
Later on Sully and Cog Moors there were 2 Cattle Egret, 10 Grey Heron and at least 7 Little Egret.
