The Great Skua was seen very well from the East Hide, and the Black-winged Stilt has relocated to the Reedbed scrape. Good views had from Visitor Centre Hide.

Also:

3 Common Tern seen close-up from the Reedbed Hide
1 Little Ringed Plover
2 Little Egret
1 Spotted Redshank
2 Skylarks fighting
1 Yellow Wagtail seen from the 360 Hide
20 Linnets in a flock on the path from the East Hide to the reedbed Hide. Very mobile.
5 Swallows flew through the reserve circa 16:30.

Plenty of Brent Geese still around - flock of at least 1000 flew over the reserve at about 17:10.
