Wednesday 1st October
This morning sunny but very windy with a strong north-westerly breeze.
In difficult viewing conditions this morning due to the wind: most of the waders were down at the southern end of the west shore close to the boat moorings. There were 30 BLACK-TAILED GODWITS with another one on its own close to Burgess Creeek; about 75 GOLDEN PLOVER and 5 RUFF. There was a single juvenile DUNLIN along the north shore. The number of lesser black-backed gulls increased to 16 this morning. Apart from that the usual ducks, lapwings and black-headed gulls.
