A bit of a blow again!

Once again with strong SW winds the best part of the day was spent sea watching, 6hrs between 06.00 & 18.00 produced a meagre return. Thanks to AJG for collating the numbers.
Brent Goose: 1E
Common Scoter: 79E
Fulmar: 17E   3W
Gannet: 148E   17W
Oystercatcher: 4E
Great Skua: 4E
Arctic Skua: 7E
Kittiwake: 15E
Mediterranean Gull: 2E
Sandwich Tern: 24E
Commic Tern: 376E  102W
Guillemot: 5W
Auk sp: 26W
Swift: 2 in
Swallow: 58 in
House Martin: 1 in
Harbour Porpoise: 4+
Common Seal: 1

At the back of a windswept Scotney 8+ pairs of Avocets hunkered down, along with 2 Little Ringed Plovers, 3 Little Egrets, a Great White Egret, 6+ Yellow Wagtails, 3 Corn Buntings and numerous Swifts.
Hobby's and Swifts were much in evidence at Dengemarsh but little else was seen due to the strong winds.
