August 7th

We arrived at Chamber's Wall early this morning in order to avoid the very hot weather that had been forecast. It was, however, still very warm as we walked up to the Wantsum outflow where the tide was on the way out. Birds we saw included 2 Mediterranean Gulls, 24 Reed Warblers, 8 Mute Swans, 11 Linnets, 1 Green Woodpecker, 11 Whitethroats, 5 Sedge Warblers, 3 Cetti's Warblers, 1 Sandwich Tern, 1 Whimbrel, 2 Grey Herons, 4 Reed Buntings, 8 Little Egrets, 4 Redshank, 3 Turnstone, 1 Ringed Plover, 3 Oystercatchers, 10 Skylarks, 1 Pied Wagtail, 1 Wheatear, 5 Golden Plover, 11 Goldfinches, 1 Corn Bunting and 1 Gadwall.  

We also found a Clouded Yellow at Coldharbour.
