Largely overcast through the morning but it [surprisingly] stayed dry and the WNW breeze stayed light; southerly passage comprised 9 Teal, 24 Oystercatchers, a Knot, a Hobby out at sea, 7 Common Sandpipers (three on the jetty and four south), 5 Curlew, a Turnstone, 2 Ringed Plover, a Dunlin, a Grey Plover, 4 Sand martins and 13 Swallows.
Also of note were 140 Common Terns and 40 Sandwich Terns leaving the river at first light, the first Spotted Flycatcher of the autumn caught at dawn, 4 Willow Warblers, 3 Yellow Wagtails and 2 Wheatears.
A very worn Radford's Flame Shoulder - the first for Landguard and second for Suffolk
