No rarities, but still good numbers of waders, 7 Green Sandpiper, all but 3 departed South before 06:30, 5 Common Sandpiper, 2 LRP and 1 Ringed Plover.
With the farmer cutting the rough grass we now have a much reduced chance of more Whinchat, but you never know.
No sign of anything of interest in the car park field today.
Reviewing the month so far, we are on 95 without Redstart, Spotted Flycatcher (Richard's was off park), Yellow Wagtail, Mistle Thrush, Water Rail, or any exciting raptors like Marsh Harrier, or Osprey and there are plenty of other waders like Black-tailed Godwit, Ruff, Turnstone, Bar-tailed Godwit and Dunlin, that could occur in this last week.
The record for August was set last year at 103, then 99 in 2013 and 97 in 2014.
