Sizeable Linnet flock, several Goldfinch. 1 each Wheatear & Rock Pipit. Stonechat family.
After lunch things got very Queensbury like despite plenty of shoreline on the estuary. I had a last gasp effort and managed 5 Great Big Bad Gulls, 2 Sandwich Tern, 3/4 Ringed Plover a flock of c16 Dunlin. An initial problem with suspected Sanderling turned out to be an autumn plumage Dunlin, the Swine 🥸.
