Thrushes and more Thrushes

08.30-10.30 The Point Dungeness with TG and DW:

Red-throated Diver: 11E  12w
Gannet: 13E
Common Scoter: 3E
Peregrine: 1E
Kittiwake: 672w
Auks:   319E     280 on sea  probably all Guillemots
Skua sp: 1E    Probably a juvenile Pomarine but was unable to rule out Bonxie at the range we viewed it.

The juvenile Black-throated Diver was still on New Diggings as  was 2 Great White Egrets and 3 Goldeneye. From Dennis's Hide another Great White Egret, 4 Goldeneye and little else of note.
At Scotney c150 resident Herring Gulls, c500 Greylag Geese, the feral Barnacle Geese, c1000 Lapwing a few Wigeon and a Black Swan nothing of real note.
Out on the marsh a ring tailed Hen harrier hunting the Kale fields behind lydd. At Midley 36 Bewick Swans, while watching them 14 Waxwings flew north. The hedgerows still hold 100s of Fieldfare and Redwing, with 100s more on the Warehorn Road, 2 more Black swans with the Mute Swan herd.
