New Month No Change!


 1w Glaucous Gull at The Patch
An hour at The Patch this morning, where I had the Glaucous Gull all to myself as it flew around the power station and hide and roosting on the beach, it was still present when I left. Not many other Gulls there and only 2 Norwegian colour rings. Off shore the usual small numbers of Gannets, Red-throated Divers, Kittiwakes and Auks. A Peregrine was again sitting on a rail above last years eyrie.

Around The Point 5 Stonechats but no sign of any Dartford Warblers or much else, though a Fox was very tame .

At the fishing boats the 1w Caspian Gull was again showing well to all comers though little else was to be seen there.
By the time I reached Dennis's Hide the Glaucous Gull had relocated to Burrowes roosting among the Great Black-backed Gulls, also there the Black-throated Diver.
A visit to the ARC found the Black-throated Diver had relocated there, 2 Great White Egrets could be seen also a Bittern and the usual wildfowl.
