Having plodded around The Point and the reserve yesterday in wall to wall sunshine with very little reward I tried Galloways, Dengemarsh Gully, the beach finishing in Hanson with the same result. Of note this weekend 4+ Arctic Skuas chasing the few remaining Terns over a flat calm sea, The Glaucous Gull still now with a tail, The Goosander on the ARC, Great White Egret and a few Beared Tits on Dengemarsh, a small numbers of Siskins high over the point with some Redpolls, a few House Martins and Swallows. In the bushes small numbers of Chiffchaffs, Blackcaps and Common Whitethroats A few Northern Wheatears round The Moat, The Desert and the beach. Raptors seen were 1 Hobby Dengemarsh, 1 Peregrine, 4+Marsh Harriers, 2 Common Buzzards, up to 5 Sparrowhawks, 8+ Kestrels. Driving back home over Walland Marsh I came across a flock of 40+ Tree Sparrows and 2 more Common Buzzards.
If the Sandhill Crane comes any nearer I might have to twitch it.
