After a day out in Holland yesterday it was back to the sea watching today, not a bad day unfortunately I arrived to late to see the Cattle Egret. Also a great pity the Long-tailed Skua never made it to Dungeness but probably not that surprising.

After you left we had one Pom Skua at 17.50hrs, and then I had three Great Northern Divers fly east at 18.30hrs and another Arctic at 18.50hrs. All the best, Neil (bloke sitting to your right this afternoon)
