Great White Egret

Caspian Gull
 In the gull roost at Dungeness at least 1 Caspian gull but no Glaucous Gull today.
At sea 11.00-11.30  172 Auks sw, 27 Kittiwake sw, 53 Gannets sw, 3 Common Scoter sw, and 4 Red Throated Divers sw.


 As I walked the track to Hanson Hide a Hen Harrier was hunting in front of the screen hide and eventually flew across the pit and out towards Burrowes Pit.
From the hide 1 Great White Egret, 1 Kingfisher, 2 Marsh Harriers, the Long Tailed Duck and red head Smew could be seen distantly at the SE end of the pit also 15+ Goldeneye and the usual wild fowl.
