The number of species, or the time?
I would struggle with either!!

Best of luck

Popped up for about an hour this evening (wet grassland only):-

Dunlin x c1300
Snipe x c25
Knot x 12
Wood Sandpiper x 5
Green Sandpiper x 3
Curlew Sandpiper x 2
Common Sandpiper x 2
Little Ringed Plover x 1

Birds were still dropping in as I left. I didn't even try to count the Black-tailed Godwit, Redshank or Ruff. Got a feeling something might crop up tomorrow. We're about due a Pectoral Sandpiper or a White-rumped Sandpiper. Wouldn't mind if the Black-winged Pratincole found its way back onto the Lincs side of The Wash either!

Either way, with High Tide at 0820 tomorrow, I reckon an early birder might be able to rise to Mr Badley's challenge if they decided to have a stab.
