Despite the last 2 days being very warm there has been no sea watching due to the fog that has persisted most of each day.
Wood Sandpiper at the ARC yesterday
1 of 3 Wood Sandpipers over the ARC yesterday
This morning a Wood Sandpiper was on Burrowes from Firth along with a Greenshank, Redshank, Little Ringed Plovers a Ringed Plover and a flyover Whimbrel. Apart from the few Common Terns nesting on the island at Dengemarsh the reserve was very quiet avian wise, but there are plenty of insects and plants to see and identify. Hopefully tonights rain will drop some waders on the ARC and Burrowes and passerines in the bushes.🤞
On the bright side there is one less Mink on the reserve as this one was a road casualty on the visitor entrance track this morning.A nice flyby Great White Egret from Hanson this afternoon
