The sea was very quiet this morning just a handful of Gannets, Commic Terns and a few Swifts and swallows coming in. The highlight being to the 2 local Peregrines coming back in presumably after hunting out at sea. Very few migrants around The Point apart from Hirundines.
A small raptor passage observed from the obs involving 3+ Common Buzzards,1 Hobby,1 Sparrowhawk and 1 Kestrel.
At the south end of the ARC Pit 2 Little Ringed Plovers and little else due to the high water levels.

| Yellow Wagtail in Rape Field |
A look around Appledore for the 2 White Storks drew a blank, but several Yellow Wagtails in the Rape a Hobby hunting over the field and a Wood Sandpiper on the flood which held the Storks last night. Nearby 2 Red-legged Partridges were foraging in the middle of the road until a Sparrowhawk appeared overhead.

A plod around the woods found another 5 Nightingales singing though all just outside my Tetrad and a Woodcock flushed.
