Hythe and Littlestone

This morning no sign of the Great White Egrets at Hamstreet also no sign of the Great Northern Diver on the canal at Hythe. At Nickolls Quarry West Hythe the Rough Legged Buzzard put in several appearances but kept away from the camera, also 2 Common Snipe, 2 Chiffchaff and a Stonechat.
 At Littlestone Golf Course no sign of any Snow Buntings. On the shore 100+ Knot,150+ Dunlin, 40+ Sanderling and 1 Grey Plover. A superb adult male Merlin sat on the beach but was flushed by dogs before i could close enough. From 2.30 P.M. onwards 3 Short Eared Owls hunted the centre of the Golf Course to far away for anything but heavily cropped record pictures.
