I made the short trip up the M20 to New Hythe with Owen today to see the gorgeous Yellow Warbler found by dedicated patch watcher Glenn Honey, an absolutely first class find that patch birders dream of.
Yellow Warbler certainly lives up to its name

A quick look around the reserve late afternoon, saw the Long-tailed Duck and Great Northern Diver in the failing light and fog. There are apparently now 7 Bewick Swans (1 juvenile) on Walland Marsh, also 2 Whooper swans per BH. As the reserve is effectively shut until at least 30/12/2024, although the toilets remain open the entrance gates remain firmly locked, so the only way to the toilets and Burrowes is by foot, because of this I doubt much birding news will be heard for a few days, though I and and I'm sure another local will do our best to cover the reserve.

Superb yellow warbler.
