A Little Ringed Plover on the island from Makepiece late morning is the first I've seen on the reserve this year, while myself and Richard were watching it a Red Kite came past, by the time we realised all we could do was watch its rear end disappearing over the VC. We also saw several each of Bar-tailed Godwits, Whimbrel and Snipe around the reserve, sadly it seems the Great Northern Diver has finally departed, it has not been seen for 2 days despite us checking the New Diggings as well today.
