The GREAT EGRET was discovered again, this time showing along the River Hertford viewed from the bridge near the sewage works on Cayton Carr, a Green Sandpiper was also seen in the area.
The first two Whooper Swans of the autumn were on Seamer Tip while the first 3 Jack Snipe were nearby at Taylor Way along with 2 Snipe.
There was a much larger arrival of Redwing during the night, a constant passage on a rather broad front (at least all of the town), a rather conservative estimate of 2500 moved west between midnight and 05.00hrs.
