Another promising morning weather-wise did not produce much on the grounded migrant front other than a single Chiffchaff found late morning. Swifts (17), Swallows (9) and House Martins (3) were noted along with Little Egret and some evidence of passage waders (2 Whimbrel, Curlew, 9 Knot, 30 Sanderling and 50 Dunlin).
The highlight ornithologically speaking was a single Brent Goose seen distantly on the tide edge South West of Middle Eye.
Insects were again much in evidence with a single Wasp Beetle found in the Wildlife Garden being the highlight.
The day ended with another beautiful sunset.
