On the Broadwater and from the hides, there were up to two Spoonbills, three Whimbrel, three Common and one Green Sandpiper and a Greenshank. The Garganey was also still present viewable from the hides. The moth traps produced ten Garden Tigers, two Poplar Hawkmoths and single Twin-spotted and Bulrush Wainscots, Coronet and Iron Prominent. A surprise find was a Wasp Spider in the foliage on the edge of the Observatory Pond (pictured).
