This very elusive Common Redstart has been present in The Desert for at least 4 days, today was the first time I managed to lift the camera to it albeit distantly. Also there Grasshopper Warbler was seen early morning, and a few each of Common and Lesser Whitethroat, Sedge and Willow Warbler. 3 Spotted Flycatchers were found early evening by Graham Parry & Nicky Betts round the trapping area. 

This juvenile Cuckoo was probably the star bird on The Point today.

This Heron stood like this on the island from Hanson for at least 10 minutes before it flew off after being disturbed by a Great White Egret. There was very little change in the birds on the ARC, also the Pectoral Sandpiper appeared again at the south end, this bird can be elusive hiding among the vegetation.
A couple of hours sea watching this afternoon was again fruitless.
