Newport

Long St mud - 3 Dunlin, 2 Redshanks, 2 Whimbrels, 1 Black T Godwit,1 Greenshank, 2 Little Egrets. Lots of Oystercatchers (76), but the Curlews were mostly on the roost in the Bay.
At the bridge a juv & a 2cy Med Gull.
Only 1 remaining Shelduck brood - now down to 4. But 2 other 1/2 grown broods disappeared quite suddenly. Do they perhaps move upstream?.
