White Storks!

I joined AJG in a walk around The Desert, the highlights were 8 Wheatears, 3 Whinchats, a few Meadow Pipits and Yellow Wagtails over and 4 Black Redstarts  around West Beach. 

With news of 2 White Storks at St Mary's in the Marsh but no location, I contacted CP who lives out that way, within a few minutes he called back with the location having found them. They took little notice of the plough and spent there time strutting around devouring worms. Both were colour ringed, one sported a green colour ring Z9404 it would seem they have escaped from a rehabilitation centre in Norfolk, but they are still nice to see.    

 A few primaries missing

Pectoral Sandpiper on the ARC from Hanson

This afternoon 12 Common Buzzards drifted south over Lydd. Late afternoon from Hanson the Pectoral Sandpiper was still showing along with 42 Black-tailed Godwits, 4+ Garganey and the usual wildfowl.
