More of the same!!

Chiffchaff sunbathing in the trapping area between showers.
An hour first thing this morning sea watching from The Point was disappointing, with small numbers of Gannets, Common Scoter, kittiwakes, Guillemots and Brent Geese.
In a very waterlogged trapping area the Hume's Yellow Browed Warbler was very elusive, 2 Chiffchaffs and a mixed Tit flock were a bit more showy.
In a couple of visits to the ARC singles of Smew and Goosander, the usual Gadwall flock, c500 Wigeon, c400 Pochard, 2 Great White Egrets and 2 Little Egrets. In the Willow Trail a Chiffchaff and a Great Spotted Woodpecker.
In an afternoon visit to Scotney I was unable to find the long staying Long-tailed Duck and the visit was cut short by Torrential Rain.
