A seawatch was made at the south end between 0845 and 1115 (high tide at 0800). Most movement was to the north until about 0930, then reverted to the south for the remainder of the watch. Moving north were 77 Common Terns, 5 Sandwich Terns, 4 Little Terns, 3 Gannets and a Fulmar.

Waders returning to the Humber or settling on the shore included 1,120 Dunlin, 6 Curlew Sandpipers, 2 Little Stints, 78 Sanderling, 7 Bar-tailed Godwits, 10 Ringed Plovers and 2 Ruffs.
