No Show!

I was joined at The Patch hide at first light by AJG, OL, PT and Barney, in the vain hope that yesterdays Ross's Gull may have roosted there. When I arrived the beach was white with several 1,000 Black Headed Gulls with many more feeding around the boil. Despite intensive searching we could only find a single 1w Little Gull and 2 adult Mediterranean Gulls amongst the Black Headed Gulls. Further off shore a flock of c160 Common Scoter and few each of Red-throated Divers and Auks.

Kittiwake

At Scotney the Long-tailed Duck was in its usual place, but I failed to located the Tundra Bean Geese though 2 were reported at Boulderwall farm.
From Plodland 3 Great White Egrets, a Common Buzzard, 1,000+ Lapwing, c200 Golden Plover were the coffee break highlights.
A walk along the beach from the fishing boats to the lifeboat station was quiet seeing 12 Turnstone, a very tame Kittiwake and few Auks and divers off shore and no sign of any Caspian Gulls.
A plod around the Tower Pits saw a Chiffchaff and a Marsh Harrier of note.
The 2 Black-throated Divers and another Great White Egret were still on New diggings.
Mid afternoon I Joined DW, The Joker, OL, PT and Barney at the fishing boats hoping for re run of the Ross's Gull, there were appeared to be many more Auks, Kittiwakes and Divers off shore than this morning with a few Gannets and Common Scoters but no Ross's Gull.
The Hume's Leaf Warbler was still present in the trapping area per DW and OL.
