On a flat calm sea at The Point this morning 500+ Great Crested Grebes, 200+ Guillemots, a few Gannets and Kittiwakes. The only real passage was 42 Brent Geese and 14 Shelduck. On the shingle I was unable to locate the Snow Buntings this morning but this Skylark was confiding.
On the ARC 2 more red head Smew and at least 2 Bitterns including the one below from Hanson Hide. The Penduline was seen again this afternoon after I left. Lunch on the reserve found the Long Tailed Duck on Burrowes from Dennis Hide. On the the way out another Bittern flew over the entrance track and the usual Tree Sparrows were on the feeders at Boulderwall.
A quick look at Scotney found 12 Greater White Fronted Geese still with the Greylags and little else of note. At Littlestone Golf Course 1 Short Eared Owl appeared about 15.00hrs but always distant. On the beach 50+ Knot, 6 Sanderling, 8 Grey Plover and 10 Dunlin.
ON Walland still 48 Bewick Swans at Midley.
On New Diggings, where else in Britain could you take a dodgy photo of 6 Smew and a Great White Egret.
