Apologies for the ambiguity.  Yes, Stert Point.  For me the NNR is Stert Point, but of course it extends down past Wall Common.

Was this from Wall Common, Phillip? I had a good look from 8.30 but didn’t see a Pec unfortunately. Did see 3 Sanderling, 2 Barwit and 5 Knot with the Dunlin and Ringed Plover. A single Peregrine went through once while I was there.

(To save Phillip some typing, I’m reliably informed it was at Stert Point)

1 ad? seen briefly this morning on the flood tide just after 07.30.  Watched for c. 15 seconds with Dunlin before a hunting peregrine flushed all small waders.  Not seen again in the following 2 hours, but 2 hunting peregrines made things difficult.

c. 400 Ringed plovers
c. 600 Dunlin
1 Knot
1 Sanderling
c. 400 Curlew
1 Whimbrel
