The Glossy Ibis have taken to feeding in the pony field.
Today the Ibis were joined by 13 Cattle Egrets
Sea watching has been rather poor for the last few days apart from a trickle of Little Gulls, Kittiwakes, Gannets and Auks, so when a message from Stephen Message came through late this afternoon, saying he had seen a Green Winged Teal from Dennis's Hide but had lost it, I and Richard were quite happy to leave the fishing boats to look for the Teal. Fortunately on arrival at the the hide Stephen was able to put us straight onto the Teal in the fading light, an excellent find by Stephen.
I have spent much time wandering around Scotney lately looking for wild grey geese so far to no avail, I will keep looking. Up to 5 Little Gulls have been on the main lake with 3 more on the back lakes where I have seen c2,000 Golden Plover, Barn and Little Owl, Ravens, Marsh Harriers, Common Buzzards, Merlins and handful of Tree Sparrows.
