An hour at the fishing boats this afternoon produced 3 Black Terns,, 2 Little Gulls,a few Sandwich and Common Terns and  2 juvenile Little Gulls all feeding along the colour change.

 The Scotney Spoonbills viewed from the Camber road this afternoon

A quick look at Scotney where the Spoonbills seem to have a new roosting place on the causeway of the eastern lake, where they can easily be seen among the many 100s of feral Greylag, Canada, Barnacle and other Heinz 57 geese as you drive by if you feel so inclined.

These 5 Jersey Tigers were the highlights in the Plodland MV this morning
