Still many Swifts feeding in the area, c.1900. Other notable birds included a Grasshopper Warbler, 32 Whitethroats, 10 Lesser Whitethroats, 5 Chiffchaffs and 12 Willow Warblers. Also of note has been the increase of House Sparrows at Hope Point and the Paddock, there are now at least 50 birds where there have been no more than 10 over the last five years.
In the evening a sea watch at Kingsdown Cliffs produced very little apart from a few Mediterranean Gulls, Sandwich and Common Terns and two Harbour Porpoises.
