3 Oystercatchers were on the wader scrape from at least 09.50hrs and a single Golden Plover flew south. 60 Starlings and 10 House Sparrows were in a pasture nearby. (Jim Plant)

This afternoon the Oystercatchers left south after they and the gulls were flushed by something. 2 Lapwings came in and copulation took place.
