1w Caspian Gull
At The Patch this morning nothing moving offshore, just a handful of Gannets feeding, a 1w Caspian Gull on the beach and a Peregrine over.
A walk around the point found a Black Redstart, a Firecrest and another Peregrine, also 4 Reed Buntings, 8 Meadow Pipits and Brown Hare.
While having a coffee at home mid morning this Siskin dropped into the garden, a garden tick. While I was in the back garden a Raven flew over with beak full of food, presumably on its way to its nest at the power station.

Stoat by hayfield 3
This afternoon I walked from round the hay fields hoping to find a scarcer Pipit or Garganey but drew a blank on both, a Common Buzzard drifted high north over Dengemarsh, a poor substitute for the Osprey that went through this morning per MH & RW. A Stoat made a brief appearance by hay field 3. The summer plumage Slavonian Grebe was at Christmas Dell but little else there. on Burrowes the juvenile Glaucous Gull was showing nicely in front of Firth Hide. Several Chiffchaffs were feeding along the bank in front the hides.
