Little Owls!

 Common Lizard at Hanson
After emptying a bulging MV but finding nothing of real note in it I went to the ARC, where the Little-ringed Plovers were both still sitting tight on there nests, other waders were 2 Ringed Plovers, a Redshank, 2 Oystercatchers and c150 Lapwings. A few Swifts flew through and a single Hobby was hawking along the railway bank, a count of the Coots came to 347 though I'm sure there were a few more that remained unseen. There are still a few Reed Warblers singing and a single Sedge Warbler still singing by the car park.
 One of the Lydd Little Owls
A check on the Little Owls at Lydd Camp found both adults still but still no Owlets to be seen.
Little Owl at Pigwell shot at 3200 iso
A Pigwell the Kestrels have all flown the nest, the sewage works held 200+ Starlings and 10+ Pied Wagtails, a Little Owl was sitting in one of the barns and required iso 3500 to get an image of it.
An hour at the fishing boats this afternoon saw just a handful each of Gannets and Sandwich Terns feeding off shore with a single Common Scoter and a single Great-crested Grebe.
Hare on Walland this evening
Another look for Quail this evening drew a blank, but still 2 Turtle Doves in Clubb's Lane and a Hare feeding in a garden.
