07.30-08.45 the sea watch hide with (TG,DR,PT) very little moving:
Fulmar: 3W
Gannet: 85E
Common Scoter: 29E
Guillemot: 1W
Arctic Skua: 5E
Arctic Tern: 4E
Commic Tern: 46E
Bar-tailed Godwit: 20E
A short visit to the observatory where resident Common Whitethroat and Wheatears were seen, also a Willow Warbler.
Back to the hide 09.35-10.45(TG,DR) Black Redstart on Power Station Fence.
As we opened the hide slats 2 Pomarine Skuas flew past very close well inside the bouy. If only we were 30 seconds earlier I am sure excellent photographs could have been obtained. Apart from 26 Brent Geese very little of note passed. So when we heard the Red-rumped Swallow was back at Greatstone we quickly made our way there. After 30 minutes of scanning the Swallows no Red Rumped but 9 Black-tailed Godwits over.
Next stop Scotney. Most the waders have departed leaving 9 Whimbrel, 4 Bar-tailed Godwits, 5 Grey Plover and 2 Dunlin.
At Pigwell the water level has risen so much that no waders at all there and then the rain started again.
