16/12/2020

This mornings sea watch was again dominated by large numbers of Guillemots and Razorbills mainly feeding close inshore, c100 Gannets were feeding in the bay and Kittiwakes were trickling through, of note several parties of Brent Geese moved east. Late morning 2 Pomarine Skuas were seen per AJG & OL, while early afternoon a Great Northern Diver and Black-throated Diver were seen per DH.
The White-fronted Geese flock was in the Lydd fields again with the Greylags and Mute Swans.
The Black-throated Diver and Dusky Warbler were still present yesterday but I heard of no reports of them today, though the weather made for very difficult conditions.
A wander around a gale lashed Dengemarsh was unsurprisingly very quiet, the only surprise was a Black redstart at Brick Wall Farm.
