Once again a wander around The point and trapping area produced no new migrants. The resident Garden Warblers, Blackcaps, Lesser and Common Whitethroats, Chiffchaffs and Cetti's Warblers are all still singing around the area.
At Lydd Camp the Little Owl was showing well, also 2 common Buzzards and a Hobby there.

Little Owl at Lydd Camp

 1 of 5 Cuckoo's at the ARC

A walk up the Pines at the ARC saw 5 Cuckoo's, 3 chasing around the Tower Pits while at the same time 2 more were over Hanson hide, at least 6 Hobby's could be seen fro the track, most were very high flying over the reserve, also a few high flying Swifts and House Martins, 4+Common Buzzards and 4 Marsh Harriers could also be seen soaring over the reserve and airport. A drake Garganey was skulking by the reeds on the ARC. A Water Rail was squealing from the Tower pits where Reed and Sedge Warblers were singing and Reed Buntings were carrying food.

An afternoon sea watch 13.50-15.00 from the boats with AJG & RW was under whelming!
