So that was Autumn!

My plod this morning from the observatory across The Desert to the Lifeboat Station, back along the beach through the sea containers and the fishing boats to the Old lighthouse back to the Observatory was notable in the fact that not one notable bird was seen or heard, indeed I barely saw a Robin or Wren! All the sites I visited today were just as disappointing, apart from late afternoon at the fishing boats where joining Mick and Richard I arrived moments after a 2w Caspian Gull turned up, later an adult bird came in.
Other news around The Peninsular the Cattle Egret still at Boulderwall, Great White Egrets all around. Goosander on Burrowes, Jack Snipe ARC and Burrowes, Black Redstarts at the power station and a couple of late Swallows.

 The adult Caspian Gulls little beady eye shows well in this image. 
6 years ago today MH found this gem at Dengemarsh
