Glossy Ibis

Another very quiet wander around The Desert with a singing Chiffchaff the highlight. At The Patch just a handful of Common terns with a few of the usual Gulls. 
 Cream Spot Tiger at the observatory 
A scout around a few fields containing cattle found no sign of any Cattle Egrets. Many Swifts around the peninsular today and 5+ Hobby's.
 Early afternoon at the south end of the ARC a Glossy Ibis rooting around in the Crassuls Hemsii for leaches, before being chased off by a Crow but returning late afternoon.

 Hobby from the Screen hide
At Scotney still 5 rapidly growing Avocet chicks, 50+ Swifts over the lake but little else of note,
This wander around Dengemarsh again found no sign of any Cattle Egrets but a minimum of 9 Little Egrets, 2 Garganey, 2 Black Tailed Godwits, 4 Bearded Tits and the Bittern still booming.
