07.10 May 1st 2013 and only 2 birders at the sea watch hide. By 07.45 I had enough Totals:
Fulmar 1E then W
Gannet: 20+ off shore
Greylag Geese: 2W
Auk sp: 1W
Commic Tern: c30 off shore
Sandwich Tern: c10 off shore
Carrion Crow: 4 in
Harbour Porpoise 3+ off shore
At the south end of the ARC 2 pairs of Herring Gulls, 2 Gadwall and 2 Teal.
MH picked me up and took me down to Dengemarsh Gully, the only birds were Linnets, 1 Peregrine and 1 Raven.
We then went to the screen hide at the ARC where a few warblers were singing as was a Cuckoo and a Marsh Harrier over
A visit to the viewing mound found the Bittern booming, 3 Marsh Harriers, Bearded Tits calling, along with several Lesser Whitethroats and the usual reed bed warblers.
From the visitor centre 2 little Egrets and a Greenshank.
An hours BOP watching from the garden saw the usual Marsh Harriers and a single Sparrowhawk.
The Long-tailed Duck was still present at Scotney per DB. Things can only get better.
