A morning mostly dedicated to looking out at the big blue. Six species of wader managed with 152 Bar-tailed Godwit South a clear winner. Also 1 Greenshank, 17 Grey Plover, 20 Knot, 4 Oystercatcher and one 1 Whimbrel. Also over the water 14 Common Tern, 1 Cormorant, 4 Sandwich Tern, 5 Shelduck, 2 Shoveler and 13 Teal. Out in the scrub difficult to find any migrants in these conditions but Whinchat still North of the boardwalk.
Despite the gale always pleasing to see a Burnished Brass finding the moth trap.
Ringing: Nil.
