After a fairly quiet start to the day with just four Velvet Scoters, six Little Gulls and 11 Arctic Skuas of note from the morning seawatch the day suddenly sparked into life with a showy Hoopoe being found in the Desert. A Wood Lark also flew over the Trapping Area and there was a very obvious increase in the number of Whitethroats in the area.
Elsewhere in the general area a Red-rumped Swallow was showing well on Dengemarsh and the Black-winged Stilt was also still present.
