At The Patch again plenty of gulls, but again I couldn't find anything of note among them.
On the Boulderwall Fields a female Peregrine seemingly sun bathing, a single Brent Goose, 100s of Wigeon and 2 Great White Egrets over. The 4 Cattle Egrets were still in residence at Cockles Bridge. A quick drive onto the marsh found all wild Swans still present, though no doubt the Bewick's will soon be on their way back to Russia.
