I managed to get a few hours in around the peninsular today. At Scotney the Black-necked grebe was still present as was the Great White Egret on the back lake, most of the wildfowl appears to have departed, 4 Curlews and 6 Dunlin were on the sheep field.
The Glossy Ibis was still in the paddock adjacent to Homeleigh Farm with the Emu, further down the road the 2 Black-throated Divers were still on The New Diggings, on the ARC 2 Goldeneye and a red head Smew and 2 Marsh Harriers,but here also most the wildfowl appears to have departed.
On the beach looking out from the lifeboat station the only gull on the sea was the 1w Glaucous Gull which then flew towards The Patch. By the fishing boats the highlight was a Yellow Brimstone flying in off the sea. Round the observatory a few Small Tortoiseshells and a Peackock butterfly.
