Most of the rest of the day was taken up with domestic stuff, so I didn't get a chance to look for the male Redstart found at the Polish memorial by PE this morning.
I did get out for a couple of hours this evening, parking at Springfield Bridge I walked to Firth and back, I encountered at least 5 Sedge Warblers around Denge Marsh but little else. On Burrowes still at least 4 Little Gulls and the Great Northern Diver but again nothing new.
A 1st summer Little Gull from Makepiece this evening
I couldn't resist image of a Mallard at Dengemarsh his evening
