The first Sanderling (2) of the season today, along with 24 Dunlin and 6 Ringed Plover. The occasional Whimbrel is heard and there are c100 Curlew feeding around the estuary.
On the reserve, viewing the river from Curlew Hide is proving useful, 3 Common Sandpipers, 3 Dunlin and 1 Black-tailed Godwit have been seen from the hide during the day.
The only notable movement at sea was a flock of c20 Common Scoter.
