WeBs counts done early this morning. First waders noted were 5 common sands all displaying on the wall at Lawrenny Quay - newly arrived migrants. Two wheatears on the grass not far away (almost exactly the same location as one seen here about this time last year).

On the estuary about 100 shelducks; 2 greylags (on Cresswell River); 80+ teal; 50+ wigeon; 40+ curlew; 5 black-tailed godwits; 2 greenshanks; around 50 redshanks and 17 grey plovers; 4 little egrets (2 pairs); sand martins (at least 7) flying up Carew River towards the millpond by about 10.30 a.m.
