I spent the morning on the reserve and at the ARC where the highlights were a very obliging Common Sandpiper infront of Makepiece, a Pectoral Sandpiper that suddenly appeared on an island at Dengemarsh from the hide and disappeared just as quickly, also there the Great White Egret which was being intimidated by 500+ Greylag Geese, also seen 18 Chiffchaff, 3 Northern Wheatears, 4+ Marsh Harriers, lots more Pintail around, the Goosander and 2 Kingfishers (Burrowes & ARC).
An hour at the fishing boats lunch time produced 1 Balearic Shearwater, 3 Arctic Skuas, 200+ Gannets, 40+ Comic Terns and Sandwich Terns, 20+ Guillemots, a Red-throated Diver off shore, a steady stream of Swallows moving out across the channel. On the beach Yellow-legged Gull, Glaucous Gull and 4 Wheatears.
