Jamming in on the Poms!

Singing in the fog. Taken just for Pete!

 As I arrived at the sea watch hide this morning a Pomarine Skua was passing, in the next few minutes 2 groups of Little Terns 8 and a 5 flew east with a few commics then the fog rolled in.
While waiting for the fog to clear a visit to the south enn of the ARC found 3 Bar-tailed Godwits and a Dunlin. A walk around the bushes produced a Swallow and a Chiffchaff. A Serin was reported and a Purple Heron was flushed from Dengemarsh gully by King Squacco.
