Fairly typical early Autumn. A flock of 43 Dunlin & 29 Ringed Plovers on the spit. Seperately single smart juv Knot & Barwit, 11 Sanderlings, 5 Redshanks, a Turnstone, 3 Little Egrets, 17 Oystercatchers with a further 20 on the "bay" roost. Only 8 Curlews, & a heard, but not seen, Whimbrel.
The juv Shelducks (finally 5) seem to have now left, the adults having left them a fortnight ago.
