The local Little Owl was out enjoying some welcome sunshine this morning
After a busy sea watch I stopped off at Cockles Bridge where 3 Cattle Egrets were feeding but no wild Swans today.
While having breakfast I spent a while watching the Lesser Whitethroat in my garden chasing the Great and Blue Tits off the feeders, until the Rook came to feed. The Dunnocks, Robins Gold, Green and Chaffinches all do well from the Rook as it spills lots of Sunflower Chips to the ground.
1w drake Scaup on the flooded Sand Pit
After breakfast I went to Scotney where 100s of Golden Plover and Lapwings were wheeling around with a few Dunlin but I couldn't pick out the Little Stint that was there earlier, the goose highlight there was just 10 Barnacle Geese. At flooded sand pit the 1w drake Scaup was still there with a few Tufted Duck, Pochard, Wigeon and Teal. I spent some time scanning the fields for the Hen Harrier thats been frequenting the area but no joy. A general look around this afternoon in the gloom when the cloud cover had rolled in saw the Great Northen Diver distantly on Burrowes.
The Lesser Whitethroat still in my garden for its 16th day
