Coming home later on and on the sandy foreshore, with the tide being out, out from "smelly corner" were 60 Dunlin along with a dozen Pied wagtail. Several dozen Sand martin were also there, many of which were landing and resting up on the sand. At "smelly corner" itself were 3 immature Black headed Gulls.
