In terms of waders, the most obvious species were Lapwing, and Golden Plover, forming wheeling flocks over Castle Water and Flat Beach, though good numbers of Curlew were also present, their peak numbers recorded at overnight roosts on Flat Beach or Harbour Farm.

Hence Wheatear and Yellow Wagtail shared the reserve briefly with Whinchat, Stonechat and Redstart, while on the freshwater pits, numbers of Wigeon, Pochard and Teal increased steadily throughout the month.
