At The Point the usual Auks, Red Throated Divers, Great crested Grebes and Cormorants feeding in shore with Gannets and Kittiwakes off shore. New Diggings from the causeway held at least 2 red head Smew and 9 on the ARC, where 3 superb drake Goldeneye were doing their wonderful head tossing display. The ARC car park was nearly full so I drove back out and went to the visitor centre stopping at Boulderwall to admire the Tree Sparrows basking in the glorious sun shine.
As the visitor centre was packed I plodded back up to Hookers and round the back towards Lydd. During this plod highlights were 1 fly over Bittern up to 4 Marsh Harriers, 6 Common Snipe and 4 Stonechats.
Driving back out a Great White Egret flew over Boulderwall and John and Doreen Cooper pulled up beside me and had a chat.(Twice in a week). From there I went to Scotney where 30+ Geater White fronted Geese and the 2 Pale bellied Brent Geese were still present among the several hundred Greylag Geese. Also a Marsh Harrier,15+ Skylark, 2 Stonechats, 50+ Curlew and 100+ Stock Doves were out in the fields.
On Walland 45 Bewick Swans at midley and 2 more Marsh Harriers.
