Another blustery day was good for watching waders pass, but also saw yesterdays brief flurry of interesting passerines move on overnight. 10 species of wader were observed, with the largest numbers being of oystercatcher (28) and whimbrel (13). A sparrowhawk was terrorizing the large mixed flocks of finches and starlings out on the reserve. More young herring gulls fledge by the day, and family parties are noisily passing throughout the days.
Second emergence of Chocolate-tip, which lives on the poplars.
