Recent rains have brought out the flowering plants into full bloom, including this fine display of Lady's Bedstraw on the reserve.

The strong winds and rain showers has seen a southerly departure of "Devil Birds", the Common Swift,  with appropriately enough, 666 recorded going past. Other interesting sightings were a flock of 12 Black-tailed Godwits, along with 4 Redshank and a Ruff, all going south offshore. Whilst a surprise capture of a young Black Redstart could mean that they are nesting somewhere in the dock complex nearby.

4 birds ringed :- 2 Whitethroat, 1 Black Redstart and 1 Dunnock.
