A flock of 80 Whimbrel passing the sea watch hide this morning
More of the c400 Whimbrel that passed while I was watching
A couple of distant Pomarine Skuas from yesterday
The Curlew Sandpiper found by Kevin at the Kerton Road Pit late morning, pity about the heat haze
Another Curlew Sandpiper was found on the ARC this afternoon by Graham and Nikki
I walked out along the Midrips and Wicks late afternoon and saw 52 Avocets, 34 Whimbrel, 4 Bar-tailed Godwits, a Greenshank, 2 Grey Plover, 2 Sanderling, 5 Redshank, several each of Ringed Plover, Oystercatcher and Lapwing, also Wheatears and Yellow wagtails. I feel sure this very under watched site will reward me eventually. 
From the reports I have had today it seems the reserve and the peninsula in general is still very quiet due to the constant NE wind.
