Three Spoonbills were on the Broadwater again early morning, with a Common Sandpiper appearing mid afternoon. A Grasshopper Warbler was heard reeling between NOA and NWT hides, and a Great Spotted Woodpecker was in the pines. A sea watch produced counts of 180 Sandwich, 6 Little and 3 Common Terns, 15 Gannets, 160 Common Scoter and an early Red-throated Diver. At least one Scarce Emerald Damselfly remained on the pond, and 2 Hummingbird Hawkmoths were also recorded.
