Ocean Edge 

A high tide roost of 70 Redshank, 5 Turnstone and a Curlew Sandpiper huddled together well away from anglers, paddlers, dogwalkers etc

Red Nab

68 Turnstone, 16 Ringed Plover and 5 Dunlin squeezed onto what remained of the rocks on the 10.3m tide. 3 Rock Pipits preferred the seaweed covered sea wall.

2 noisy Peregrines were flying high above the power station - it looked like a young one was harrassing an adult.

Heliport 

3100 Oystercatcher, 364 Redshank, 26 Turnstone, 4 Lapwing, 114 Knot, 3 Dunlin and 1 Grey Plover.

Others

A Herald moth pretended to be a leaf on the curved sea wall below the power station.
