A single Whooper Swan was seen going south, there was a Blackbird on middle and a Song Thrush on the north end with 10 Starling and a Redwing also noted. Three Pied Wagtails flew over separately and there were 3 Rock Pipits.
A male Scaup was close in on the east side as the tide rose, 163 Common Scoter
were counted with 1 Red-throated Diver and 5 Great Crested Grebes. Only 1 Purple Sandpiper was found but there were 130 Bar-tailed Godwit on the north

In the
afternoon a Short-eared Owl was glimpsed briefly dropping behind the fence at
the back of the heli trap, it was relocated in the bracken on the north end
where a spectacular view was gained.
