At Lydd the 2 Cattle Egrets still in there chosen field.
I had to visit Folkstone today, on the way back I stopped off at the Twiss Road rocks in Hythe, where 2 Purple Sandpipers were roosting, on a nearby beach 6 Mediterranean Gulls were roosting.
Mid afternoon back at Dungeness sea passage had ceased but a 1w Caspian Gull was in the roost.
On the reserve from Dennis's Hide where the wind was now howling with some drizzle a drake and duck Smew flew down the lake and a Great White Egret could be seen. Retiring to the VC the Smew gave another flyby and another Great White Egret could be seen.
