07:44 Seawall run through the site - just paused to view scrape on way back now the mist has cleared.  Greenshank in flight landed somewhere on the flood whilst two small waders too distant to ID with bins only - very clean below, horizontal feel to them so hopefully someone will get a scope view later. Otherwise two Little Egret and Cuckoo of note  35 Whimbrel gc.

08:11 (Visible) Whimbrel up to 52 on gc, 8 Sandwich Tern north offshore.
