Pectoral Sandpiper

An assortment of waders seen in the Scotney Sand pit in the last couple of days. If you are visiting the site the section of track from Jurys Gap Road to the sand pit is not a public right of way, at the moment the land owner is allowing us to use it to access the bridleway that runs to the west and south of the pit, please do not climb over the gate if it is shut, walk a few yards to the west and there is an obvious gabby a couple of concrete blocks, please remember it is still a working pit and excavators may start again at any time.

Glossy Ibis

The sea watching continues to be very poor as do the numbers of passerines in the bushes, apart from Willow Warblers and a few Reed and Sedge Warblers, Common and Lesser Whitethroats little else is tone found. There has been the odd Pied and Flycatcher and a handful of Whinchats.

A Glossy Ibis was new at the ARC this afternoon and a juvenile Black Tern was present.
