Heading southbound 112 Curlew, 63 Black-headed Gull, 6 Oyk, 6 Swift, 4 Med Gull, 3 Bar-tailed Godwit, 2 Gannet, 2 Sandwich Tern, Common Gull, Sand Martin, Shelduck & Whimbrel with northbound 9 Common Scoter & Sandwich Tern. On site a couple of dispersing warblers turned up having been bred elsewhere. On file we have only five bigger autumn counts of Curlew with the highest count 261 south on 5th July 2007 but with far fewer Curlew around these days due to population declines it is doubtful this sort of figure will ever be achieved again.
