Monty's again!

When I arrived at The Point AJG and DW were already there. After being told by them that little was moving off shore, I decided to go to the ARC. From Hanson 3 Dunlin, 2 Redshank, 5 Garganey and the Red Crested Pochard could be seen, the real highlight was number of Sand Martins which I estimated to number over 1,000. At the Screen 2 juvenile Marsh Harriers were flushing all the wild fowl, 2 Swifts flew through, in the hide the second brood of Swallows must surely fledge in the next couple of days. 

 Checking the fields at Cockles Bridge the juvenile Montagu's Harriers soon appeared, so I spent most of the rest of the morning with it. A short sea watch this afternoon saw a few Terns and Gannets moving but nothing else. As NW winds are forecast tonight and tomorrow morning Cap Gris Nez beckons.
