A quieter day at the ARC but very nice to see the Grass Snake, Little Stint another Wood Sandpiper, a few Golden Plover, 3 Black Terns etc.
Green Sandpiper over Dengemarsh early evening
I didn't do any sea watching today but it was apparently fairly slow compared to recent days, just a handful of Balearic Shearwaters were seen, along with the Arctic Skuas, Black, Little and Sandwich Terns which have been hanging around in the bay for some days now. Highlight was probably an Osprey that went out to sea.
Starlings gathering in front of the house this evening

Hi Martin, like the grass snake, I've never managed to get a photo of one yet, I only seem to get Adders
ReplyDeleteHi Ken, I'm afraid we only have Grass Snakes on the Dungeness peninsula, no Adders.
