Ground Lackey is a nationally scarce species that occasionally wanders down here from its saltmarsh habitats
After some overnight rain it was a breezy morning bringing waves of clouds scudding across the sky changing the light conditions over sea every five minutes but despite this sometimes challenging seawatching, that's where most of the interest lay. Totals heading south today comprised 18 Bar-tailed Godwits, 66 Common Terns, 21 Curlew, 3 Dunlin, a Gadwall, 9 Golden Plover, a Greenshank, 24 Grey Plover, 4 Knot, a Little Tern, 7 Oystercatchers, a Redshank, 4 Ringed Plover, 60 Teal, 10 Tufted Ducks, a Turnstone and 7 Whimbrel.
The odds and ends on and over the land included a Hobby south, a House Martin, 109 Swifts south, yesterday's Wheatear and a Willow Warbler.
