A quick look at the military canal at Hamstreet on my way to Dungeness this morning found 3 Little Egrets and 1 Great White Egret. At The Point a steady trickle of Guillemots and Kittiwakes moving SW offshore and little else moving but the Glaucous Gull was by the fishing boats.
At the ARC from Hanson Hide the Penduline Tit was putting on a fine show in the sunshine, just when my camera and lens are both in for servicing. Also there 3 distant red head Smew could be seen at the south end, a Bittern flew into the reeds by hide and could be seen for a while before flying back towards the Water Tower, 11+ Goldeneye and 2 Black tailed Godwits were the highlights there.
Stopping on the causeway going back to the beach 1 Great White Egret was in sheltered spot as was the Long Tailed Duck. Back at the beach no change.
At Scotney 800+ Golden Plover and just about anything else that was there were being constantly disturbed by the council working on the cycle way. 2 Marsh Harriers could be seen by the windmills.
On Walland no sign of any wild Geese or Swans yet but 40+ Tree Sparrows in the bushes round the feeders.
Hopefully i will have my camera back by the end of the week.
