Nothing outstanding during this morning's count but a good variety nonetheless. Totals included 415
Oystercatchers, 68
Curlew, 43
Redshanks, 12
Turnstones, 6
Common Sandpipers, 5
Ringed Plovers, 5
Lapwings, 4
Black-tailed Godwits (with a possible flock of 20 high overhead), one
Snipe, 32
Cormorants, 3
Sandwich Terns, 46
Little Egrets, 30
Mallards, 6
Teal, 2
Little Grebes and a
Coot;
the latter at Luxton's Steps pond, my first patch record beyond Decoy Lake. Curiously - or worryingly - no Shelducks or Greenshanks and only one
Dunlin could be found.
