1w Caspian Gull

1w Caspian Gull(not to bad with the happy snapper)

This morning at The Point on a flat calm sea there was no obvious off shore movement, but 500+ Great-crested Grebes with lesser numbers of Red-throated Divers and Guillemots, a few each of Gannet and Kittiwake could be seen. In a Gull roost by the fish hut a very smart 1w Caspian Gull.
This afternoon from Hanson 2 Great White Egrets could be seen but little else of note, in The Willow Trail 2 Goldcrest, 2 Chiffchaff, a Great-spotted Woodpecker, a Green Woodpecker and several squealing Water Rail. Walking back to the ARC car park the mist really came down, by the time I reached Boulderwall Farm visibility was very poor, though I did manage to see a couple of Tree Sparrows and c15 Reed Buntings around the feeders. I carried on walking towards Hookers despite the mist seeing a flock of c10 Linnet another Great White Egret and some flyover Greylags and Lapwing. By the time I reached Hookers the visibility was even worse and light was failing so I returned to the car.
It would appear that the Cattle Egrets are literally spreading there wings by spending some time at Brickwall Farm.
On the marsh the wild Swan flock and Tundra Bean Geese are still in there chosen field. At Scotney the 1w drake Scaup and at least 1 Black-necked Grebe still present.
