11/11/2025

A reasonable sea watch this morning for Little Gulls but little else in the way of quality.
One of several Little Gulls that came past the fishing boats this morning
Plenty of Gannets passing this morning
Pallas's Warbler
After this mornings sea watch I went to the Observatory with Richard, immediately on arrival Jacob told us that there was a Pallas's Warbler in the ringing shed, perfect timing.
 
The Black-necked Grebe was again showing well on the main lake at Scotney late morning
Another cycle ride around the Scotney Complex was hard work in the strong win and muddy track at the back. c2,000 Lapwing and c500 Golden Plover at the back, but very few wildfowl, 2 Kingfishers were around the farm with another 2 down on the drain at the old sand pit, also a scattering of Great White and Little Egrets. The only raptors were singles of Kestrel, Marsh Harrier and Common Buzzard.
