A short walk around The Point was enough to confirm the complete lack of new migrants today, so I decided to re-visit the superb male Pied Flycatcher at Greatstone.
My first Small Tortoiseshell of the year
At Dengemarsh this evening a few hawking Sand Martins and Swallows, still at least 3 Garganey present, 2 Bitterns booming rather half heartedly, a couple of Bearded Tits were glimpsed. A Greenshank was new in on the hay fields where several Redshank and Lapwing are in residence, also 2 Ringed Plover, 3 Dunlin and a Ruff there.
