In addition to John's sightings:

1 Goosander (f), 6 Shelduck, 1 Canada Goose, 30 + LBB Gulls, 4 Herring Gull, 10+ BH Gull, 12 Lapwing, Mallard, 2 Pied Wagtail, 2 Oystercatcher and 1 Green Sandpiper (which until I had scrutinised my photos and noted a white rump I thought was a Common Sandpiper).

Ringed Plover takes my species total to 115.

Quick look at Wymott ponds area for the Whimbrel was fruitless, apart from a Red Fox on the edge of the field where they had been earlier seen.
