Sunday 28th June

A Wheatear in front of the hide was the earliest ever juvenile on site (and the first June record) but more expected was the midsummer build up of Curlew and Sandwich Tern with 268 Curlew (and two Whimbrel) in the Railway Saltmarsh and at least 53 Sandwich Tern around the site. Elsewhere the Slavonian Grebe was off Cockwood and seven Common Scoter were offshore.
