Saturday 4th July

An early morning passage of 426 Swift was a good Warren count, but nothing else was passing overhead. In the estuary wader counts included 15 Redshank, four Ringed Plover, three Whimbrel, two Knot and two Common Sandpiper. Also present two early returning Teal, 44+ Sandwich Tern, 160+ Black-headed Gull and at least four Mediterranean Gull.
